turn over in the fondant and then
lift to a wax paper to harden.
Candied cherries and other fruits
may be used for dipping.
When the fondant becomes too
small for dipping, remove from the
boiler, scraping the sides with a
wooden spoon. Add the chopped
nuts and raisins to this and then
mold into squares. Press firmly and
cut into slices. Or part may be
nodded into small balls and dipped
in chocolate. Both bitter and sweet
dot chocolate may be used for dip
ping.
To Prepare the Chocolate for Dipping
Cut the chocolate into small pieces
and then place in a double boiler,
having hot water in the lower COM
partment. Add one-half level tea
spoonful of butter to each half pound
of chocolate. Stir until well blended
and then dip in the various pieces.
Note. - The chocolate must be
thoroughly beaten to prevent
streaks; take care not to heat above
80 degrees Fahrenheit-80 degrees
Fahrenheit is the best temperature
for dipping in a warm room.
Fruit paste makes a dainty
variety to add to the holiday candies.
Try this one: Put n cupful each
of seeded raisins, figs, dates, dried
apricots, cocoanut and two cupfuls
of shelled peanuts through the food
chopper. Add two tablespoonfuls of
strip or honey to the mixture to
smooth the mass. Mold into balls
or small rolls. Roll either in finely
chopped peanuts, confectioners'
sugar, or finely chopped cocoanut, or
pack into a box one inch deep and
press under a heavy weight for
twenty-four hours and then cut in
slices.
Almond Fudge
An almond fudge made in layers

UNDOUBTEDLY the making of
the Christmas candies will amply
repay for the time and trouble of
making them. If neatly packed in
an attractive box, their very appear
ance will carry a holiday message.
1t is a comparatively easy matter to
make up a large assortment of de-
licious pure candies at a fraction
of the cost they would be when pur-
chased.
Making fondant need not be a
mysterious tedious process, if you
will carefully follow a few simple
rules:
/. A clean saucepan free from the
least suspicion of grease.
2. Use a thermometer for cooking
the strip.
To Make the Fondant
Three cupfuls of graduated
sugar.
Three-quarters cupful of boiling
scater.
One-halt teaspoonful of cream Of
tartar.
One-halt cupful of 1chite corn
syrup.
Stir the mixture until dissolved
and then wipe the crystals of sugar
from the sides of the kettle and adj
just the thermometer and boil the
mixture until 240 degrees Fahren-
heit is reached. Pour on a we'll
CREASED meat platter to cool and
when partly cool turn in the edges
to the center. Repeat until cool
enough to handle. Now use a cake
turner to knead and work the mix
ture until it is creamy and white.
Now add one t~easpoonful of glycer-
in and knead between the hands
like a dough. Set away in an air
tight container to ripen and blend.
Use this fondant for dipping bon
Dons, nuts, grapes and glazed fruits.
The leftover portion may be used
for filling dates, figs, mixing with
chopped nuts, fruit, for center, etc.
How to Dip Bonbons
Make a dipper of a piece of stout
wire, making a loop, then winding
sufficient wire to form a handle.
Bend the loop slightly until it will
hold a bonbon. Now use a double
boiler to melt the fondant. Place
boiling water in the under compart-
ment and place the top part in posi-
ton. Add the fondant and stir con-
stantly while melting. When the
fondant is melted and looks like
thick, heavy cream, drop in pieces
