They'll Do It Every Time

Pygmy Forest Known To Few Botanists
pines and cypresses.
Ranging through, the Pygmy
Forest, which affords them a
perspective in . keeping with
their own size, are rabbits, field
mice, wood' rats, squirrels,
shunks, raccoons and gray foxes.
Bush tits and song sparrows find
the delicate branches of the tiny
trees hardly adequate as musical
perches.
The tiny trees live to a normal
age the cypress to about 40
years, and the pines to an aver
age of 80 to 100 years.

FlUIT CAKE TIME Fruit cake making time is here! And, like
Christmas shopping, it should be done right away for best re
Hilts. Plenty of new crop nuts filberts, almonds, walnuts,
cashews and Brazils-'-are available to add their crunchy good
fess to your holiday baking.

Fruit and Filbert Holiday Cake
It's fruitcake making time . . .
time to gather together the my
riad spices, the rainbow fruits,
the crunchy nuts so closely as
sociated with the joys of holiday
baking. With a master's .stroke
th many ingredients are careful
ly combined, and soon the pun
tent smells of baking fill the
house with exciting aromas. It
is a temptation to sample the
cake immediately, before it is
stored away to age and increase
- in flavor and goodness. Resist
G that impulse! Or make a tiny
batch just for sampling.
Produced commercially only
in the Pacific Northwest where
climatic conditions and favorable
soil favor growth, you'll find
Oregon filberts complement all
of your favorite recipes using
nuts.
This year's crop is estimated
to be the second largest in pro
duction history, and the quality
and size of the nuts are also
xceptional. You'll find filberts
at your grocer's most often in
the shell. One pound of filberts
in shftl will yield about VA cups
nutmeats.
Blanching of Filberts
To remove the skins and give
a "toasty" flavor, is easily done
by heating in a 275 degree oven
for about 20 minutes. Rub the
hot kernels between your fingers
or a rough towel to flake away
the skin, then use the nutmeats
whole or coarsely chopped in
any and all your recipes. Keep
a bowl of filberts handy, too,
so your family can enjoy this
bountiful harvest of flavor.
Here is our favorite fruit and

pound candied cherries.
V pound pitted dates

1 pound glace fruit .mix
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Iq teaspoon allspice
i teasoon nutmeg
Vi teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup shortening
Vi cup sugar
Vi cup honey
5 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
1 3',2-ounce can flaked
coconut
Cut filberts into halves and
pieces. Cut cherries and dates,
combine with raisins and fruit
mix (if fruit mix pieces are too
large, cut in slivers or smaller
pieces). Dredge with V4 cup
flour. Sift remaining flour with
salt, baking powder and spices.
Cream shortening with sugar
and honey; add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each ad
dition. Add dry ingredients and
milk alternately. Batter will be
heavy.
Combine filberts and coconut
with floured fruit. Add to batter
and mix until all fruit is well
covered with batter. Grease well
three 7Vix3x2-inch loaf pans.
Line each with 3 layers of waxed
paper, cut to fit pan, but allow
ing Vi inch to extend above side
of pan. Spoon batter into pans
lightly. Do not pack or flatten.
Bake in slow oven, 275 degrees,
for 2Vi hours. Allow to cool
about 30 minutes before remov
ing from pans. Cool thoroughly
before removing paper. This
recipe makes three 1V4 pound
cakes.
A flat container holding 2
cups water placed in bottom of
oven while cake is baking will
increase cake's volume and give
better appearance and moister
texture.
Fruitcake Storage
When fruitcake is cold wrap
in additional waxed paper, alum
inum foil, ' or other moisture-repelling
covering and store in air
tight" container for aging period.
If desired, cakes may be wrap
ped in brandy-soaked cloths. In
this case,, remove pan-lining
papers and sprinkle cake with
brandy. Wrap in brandy-soaked
cheese cloth and then in airtight
outside covering.
Pumpkin Mince Chiffon Pie
In this recipe we combine the
old favorites . . . pumpkin and
mincemeat in a chiffon type pie
filling. Result is a dessert that is
still rich in flavor but lighter in
texture. To save work and to
guarantee fine flavor, we've used
prepared pumpkin and the moist
pack, ready-to-use mincemeat,
the kind that comes in glass jars.
Served plain or topped with
whipped cream, pumpkin mince
chiffon pie should be a hit
throughout the holiday season,
or for that matter, all year round.
