When we were making our fruit cakes over a month ago, we made a wedding cake too. The recipe was ob- tained through a good friend who has foxi' yefirg Siiaeialixed in mak- ing fruit cakes. Since it cOptains some spice and the fruits used in the traditional Christmas cake, we are quoting this recipe us our favourite for this year's fes- tive season. The boiled -type fruit cake has advantage's — it has sufficient fruit to be really good and the method of cooking the batter in- gredients reduces the baking per- iod. (This is very important in the operaion ,of an electric oven at this time). So far as plum pudding is con- cerned, we highly recommend using either the pressure sauce- pan or canner to steam it thor- oughly, yet evenly. In our neigh- bourhood, the pressure canner is loaned to one and then another to save time and fuel. Usually when we begin Christmas bak- ing, the children think of candy making and so we shall list that favourite' which keeps well (if you can hide it from the child- ren).
