for any sweet bread, coffee
cake, petit four or cup
cakes. Chrishrai Salad
The popularity of molded
salads in our area probably
exceeds that of any other
part of the country. They
can be made so attractively,
so easily and with such a
flair for color, design as well
as flavor. We've dreamed up
a holiday special that features
the green of avocado and the
red of sweet pepper (or pi
miento) combined with cit
rus fruit Juices in a mold
with unflavored gelatine for
8 to 10 servings.
i large red sweet pepper
or 1 canned pimiento
3 envelopes unflavored
gelatine
?i cup fresh grapefruit
juice
l'i cups hot water
'a cup sugar
1 1 teaspoon salt
'i cup fresh lemon Juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 cups avocado puree
(about 2 ripe avocados)
If you use the fresh red
sweet pepper, cook it in boil
ing water to cover for five
minutes or so until it is ten
der, yet firm; remove from
water and cover with cold
water and let stand until
pepper is cold. Drain off wa
ter and pat pepper dry.
Whether you use fresh red
pepper or a canned pimiento,
place it on a board, glossy
side next to board and cut
out a star or other holiday
design with cooky cutter or
by hand. Place on center of
the bottom of an oiled six
cup star-shaped (or other)
mold, glossy side down. Set
aside until gelatine mixture
is prepared.
Soften gelatine in grape
fruit juice; add hot water,
sugar and salt. Stir until dis
solved. Blend in lemon and
orange Juices. Pour Just
enough of this mixture into
the previously prepared mold
to cover the red pepper star.
Chill until firm.
Refrigerate the remaining
gelatine until it begins to
thicken. Fold in avocado
puree. Add some of the red
pepper or pimiento trim
mings, finely chopped if you
like. Fill salad mold; chill
until firm and ready to serve.
Just before serving, turn onto
a serving plate. Garnish in
any desired way. Serve with
mayonnaise or dairy sour
cream, if desired. A tiny bit

of green food flavoring In
the dressing if you like.

FESTIVE SALAD This festive holiday salad combines the
green of avocados with citrus fruit juices flecked with the
red of sweet peppers or pimiento. It's all done with gelatine
in any favored mold offered on your fanciest snow white
plate with appropriate decorations. The recipe is included
in today's food column.
Eggnog Synonomous
With Holiday Hospitality
Time was, in Merrie Olde
England, when eggnog was
served only before breakfast
and again before dinner on
Christmas. Now It is served
at any hour throughout the
holiday season and beginning
right now. Many homes main
tain "open house" with relays
of ladlers presiding at the
eggnog bowl. Teen-age sons
and daughters love to give
eggnog parties. The younger-than-teenagers
will rejoice in
a special set-up on a sep
arate table.
A cut glass or silver punch
bowl is very handsome but
eggnog tastes just as good
from your very biggest mix
ing bowl, appropriately deco
rated. Or perhaps you have
a prized soup tureen? Now
is good time to show it off.
Otherwise, a pitcher for pour
ing is perfectly fine. Small
glasses however are desira
ble and can be bought if nec
essary at the nearest ten cent
store.
Dairy Eggnog. Local dairies
feature smooth, creamy egg
nog in quart containers from
now until New Year's; the
skilled blending of quality in
gredients ready for serving
"as is" for combining with
carbonated beverages for the
younger generation, perhaps
with "spirits" for some of the
older generation. If your
dairy products are home de
livered, put your order in
ahead of time to insure avail
ability. Otherwise you can
pick it up anytime at dairy
department in local markets.
For informal entertaining,
y the buffet or any convenient
table is fine. For formal en
tertaining, the dining room
of course is specially deco
rated. Simple Accompaniments.
Eggnog is rich and flavor
packed. The usual canapes
are definitely out, so resist
temptation. Positively no dips,
dunks or fancy tidbits. Thin
slices of fruit cake or an as
sortment of holiday cookies
and salted nuts are tradition
al and adequate. Spoons in
the nut dishes, please. Coffee
and tea are usually also avail
able on a nearby table.
Favored Spirits. Jamaica
rum and brandy, proportions
usually one rum to four bran
dy are favored by southern
ers though there are many in
this part of the country who
prefer the addition of bour
bon. Among wines, sherry is
the favored eggnog mixer.
Eggnog Toppings. A sprin
kling of freshly ground or
freshly bought ground nut
meg is traditional topping
though some like a fleck of
cinnamon or mace. This may
be hostess-sprinkled or a
shaker or grater handy in
vites guests to top to taste.
Glamour topping is achieved
by sieving pulp of fresh pom
egranate to extract the juice;
float a spoonful of juice on
each drink and spend eve
ning explaining magic.
Cheery Cherry Garnishes
Maraschino cherries come
in both red and green, (the
red come with stems also) giv
ing color, taste and texture
drama to many holiday good
ies. Glace'd cherries glisten.
Alternate red and green
maraschino cherries in ice
tray compartments. Fill with
water, ginger ale or other
liquid. Use when frozen for
flavoring and garnishing beverages.
Decorate holiday cookies
with red and green glace
cherries. Use cookie cutters
to shape cookies. Use cher
ries as bright buttons for gin- j
gerbread men, red noses for
reindeer, centers for stars, !
lights for Christmas tree
cookies and cakes.
Give children's milk or egg-'
nog holiday touch with a bit
of red maraschino cherry
juice and a red stem cherry j
stuck through a red and white i
striped straw. !
Dip red stem cherries in
chocolate, marzipan or other j
candy mixture.
Use as decoration or filling
