however. many Of the newer
orchards. those planted since
the '40s, have not been af-
fected due to the high quality
Of seeding rootstocks. The
plight of the pear supply is
almost certain to affect retail
prices.
Kale, spinach, yellow
onions, carrots, collards,
cucumbers, pascal celery and
artichokes head the list Of
vegetable buys along with
such leafy salad green's as
escarole and chicory.
A Newcomer
This is the time of year
when convenience meals are
q lifesaver to the harassed
homemaker. New on the mar
ket is a frozen loin of pork
dinner, the first time for pork
to be used in this type Of
meal. It's the 11th one in the
popular Swanson TV line Of
frozen dinners. The plate
features tender, juicy slices
Of roast loin Of pork, sauced
with a delicately favored
gravy, cinnamon-spiked apple
slices, and crisp French fried
potatoes. The dinner weighs
in at 10 ounces and as with
Swanson's other TV dinners
needs only q short time in q
hot oven before it's ready for
the table. The newcomer is
now available at your favorite
grocery store.
Four ready-to-bake items
are making news as Dulany
Foods. Inc, located at Fruit
land, Md. Two of the items
are designed for a snack with
the cocktail hour, two are
sweet and could be used as
dessert. The ham and cheese
rolls and the pigs-in- blanket
both come 10 to the package.
each roll is enough for q
couple Of good-sized bites.
The filings, encased In q
blanket Of fiaky pastry, are
spicy and well seasoned. The
fruit rolls cherry and
apple are packaged 5 to
the carton with the pastry
wrapped neatly around the
sweet Filings.
All four items are quick
frozen. need only a brief
heating in a hot oven before
serving. Directions on each
carton advise using q 400
degree oven and heating for
20 to 20 minutes. or until a
light golden brown. Our ia
vorite Of the four were the
apple rolls-which we enjoyed
with q wedge of sharp cheese.
If you can afford to ignore
the calorie count. q little
dollop Of whipped cream on
top Of the fruit rolls would
be nice for dessert.
Another new arrival Is the
Duncan Hines deluxe angel
food cake mix. The company
announces q new mixing
method with this cake. Just
sprinkle the cake -four mix
ture into the egg whites and
beat no folding in. The
former tender care" treat
ment needed for a successful
angel cake has been put into
the cake mix itself by the
manufacturers, they claim.

wrap protects the inner packs
containing the egg whites and
cake -four mixture. Available
wherever Duncan Hines cake
mixes are sold.
