Grapes put punch in your party
Tree Trimming Time!
I f you're looking for a super holi­
day punch, here's your answer!
Holiday Fruit Punch looks colorful,
festive and has a sparkling flavor
that's a party-pleaser.
A day before the party prepare an
ice ring by arranging clusters o f
table grapes in a ring mold with wa­
ter, and freeze. A t the same time,
combine more grapes, fresh pineap­
ple chunks, wine, cranberry and
lemon juice and chill overnight to let
the flavors blend. Then just before
party time, add soda water or cham­
pagne to the punch, unmold the ring
and enjoy!

Invite friends over to bring an or­
nament and help trim the tree. Then
afterwards, let them help themselvea
to an informal, delicious buffet.
For dessert, feature a continental
chocolate fondue. Make it quickly
from sweet cooking chocolate and
apricot flavored brandy. For
dippers, arrange a platter o f dried
fruits and nuts. Dried apricots give
the perfect flavor combination, and
they're nutritious, too.

'A cup milk
3 tablespoons apricot flavored
brandy
2 tablespoons sugar
Dash salt
12 oz. sweet cooking chocolate
Place all ingredients in top of
double boiler over simmering water.
Cook, stirring frequently, until cho­
colate is melted and mixture is
smooth. Place in fondue pot over
candle warmer or other warming de-
dried apricots and other dried fruits
and nuts, as desired.
Preserve
Onions
Onions are similar to potatoes in
at least one respect. Like potatoes,
their tops have withered and turned
completely brown.
“ Pull the onions, shake the dirt
o ff them and lay them out in the
garden to dry,” says Ray McNeilan,
Oregon State University Extension
home gardening agent. “ A week of
drying is usually enough to prepare
the onions for storage."
Leaving the onions outside to dry
is usually no problem in Eastern
Oregon, but in Western Oregon fall
rains of heavy night dew can cause
problems. To avoid these d iff i­
culties, M cN eilan suggests taking
the onions indoors and placing them
in a dry, warm and airy place. Lay
the onions on racks or screens so dry
air can circulate around the bulbs.
When the onion’s neck has with­
ered and the outer skin is dry and
shiny, the bulb is ready for storage,
says M cN eilan . I f the onions are
stored before their tops are dry, a
gray, fuzzy mold may grow on
them.
The storage location should be a
dry, dark place where the tempera­
ture ranges from 3J-S0*F. Pull the
dry tops o ff and put the onions in
mesh bags of slatted crates. An al­
ternative to mesh bags is to weave
the dry tops o f the onions through
the mesh of a piece of chicken wire
suspended above the floo r o f the
storage area. I f the chicken wire
method is used, be sure to leave
space for air to circulate between the
bulbs.
Onions don't keep well in paper
sacks or cardboard boxes, McNeilan
cautions.
Storage conditions are too moist
if roots reappear on the onions in
storage, if sprouts appear, the tem­
perature is too high. In both cases,
if the onions aren't relocated, they
will deteriorate.
In less than ideal conditions,
stored onions w ill keep no more
than three to four months. The stor­
age period is shorter for Sweet
Spanish and Bermudas than for
small, globe-type onions.
