If we bad to order the ingredients for our Christ- mas cake direct from the source of .<ii|>ply, we would find it rather dif- ficult. While far away countries en- joy our Canadian maple sugar, we select their sweets and spices foi festive fare. For the most part, out pineapple comes from Cuba, candied cherries from France, dates from the Iraq, currants and raisins from Australia, citrus peels from United States, spices from India, walnnts fnmi Turkey, cashews from China, molasses from the West Indies, eagat from Cuba, while shortening, eggs and flour come from our own banner province. Today, our grocer has fresh sup- plies for the fruit cake we intend to mslke. The recipe for our favorite cake, the one we made last year, la being published as one of the beat we have ever made.

The traditional plum pudding is served piping hot with a Brandy sauce, even set aglow as brought to the table, but we think you, too, may enjoy chilled fruit pudding and ice cream sauce, â€" our folk do. If you forget to make an ice cream sauce, heat a cup of marmalade and pour over ice cream. The holiday festivities soon creep up. Yofi'll be wise to make mince meat pies two weeks in advance, if you 'lave good refrigeration or freez- ing space. To reheat them, allow 30 imnutes in your warming oven or the oven at 250 degrees. â- Finally, we again refer to the cake which, if frosted, shouid be done wtih a hot knife. This is done by frequently dipping in a pitcher of hot water and do likewise with your cake knife when you cut servings. Junior wants to know why dry ' goods designers don't m*ke a black towel.
