After packag­ ing parcels for the lads Overseas, and giving toward the Christmas War Benefits, there are few extra pennies for luxuries these days. You may feel that the large Christmas cake full of nuts and cut out, imported fruits should be 5|i * * * motto in Canadian homesBut the is “Carry On"—and in this spirit the Christmas of 1941 will be celebrated. Some of the garnishings of the tra­ ditional dinner may be dispensed with; there may not be quite the variety of nuts and fruit in the cake, nor will the and and not cake be as large, must go on. t t Preparations for start with the mixing of the cake and mincemeat a month ahead of time to allow for mellowing and ripening, with the third successive wartime Christmas in mind, we suggest an in­ expensive cake—but at the request of several readers th.e rich fruit cake recipe is also printed. One-half the recipe will make enough to serve for several occasions. Some homemakers write that they are not using almond paste—just frosting. Others tell us that they will make a good cake decorate it with pieces of cherry slices of citron this year. * * * * The wartime Christmas cake is very rich nor is it expensive—but spicey and festive looking. This cake may be made a week previous to Christmas Day. (But do not forget to file this recipe if you are not going to .make it this week.) A plain butter icing may be used as frosting. ijc * * * The mock mincemeat recipe will make a satisfactory dessert even in plain pastry. Green tomato mince­ meat is another useful recipe. As for the carrot pudding—it’s delicious any time, and it is really economical to make and bake. You just put a layer of wax paper over the baking dish; tie a string around the rim and place on a stand in the well-cooker of the electric-'range with only one cup of hot water in the utensil. Why not try carrot pudding in place of plum pud­ ding this year?
