Fall Bounty of Fancy -Fruits,
Raisins, Nuts
Mid - N&vember finds new
crops of flavor - packed, west
cost-grown dried fruits in our
markets. These are apples,
apricots, peaches, prunes, figs,
and, of course, plenty of suc

veniently, packaged, modestly
priced and just waiting to add
flavor, texture and top-nuin-
tion to an array of exciting
Dies, cakes, puddings, stuff
ings, salads, cereals. Further
more, they are "natural sub
stitutes for candy when that
sweet-tooth becomes demand
ing.
Then there are glassed
maraschino cherries (all west
coast grown) in red and in
green for incorporating in
receipts, for adding flavor dis
tinction to beverages, desserts
and salads, and for decorating
many a good thing.
Glaced fruits are available
separately or in combination,
in cellophane covered pack
ages or glass. Their rich glow
ing colors flirt with the home
maker's imagination as she I
pictures party-rich nesselrode I
pie puddings, fruit cakes and
candies for holiday eating
and sharing.
Nuts, unshelled and shelled.
Bins are piled with almonds,
pecans, walnuts, filberts,

They come as harvested, loose

glassed and packaged; whole,
halved, or sliced and chopoed
ready for myriad recipe uses
as well as for out-of-hand eat

Amber Glazed Almonds Have
Wonderful Caramel Flavor

sufficiently high -temperature
it melts and the color changes,
