Raisin Fruit Cakes Make
Thoughtful Holiday Gifts
The holidays are right around the corner and this is the
best time for the annual baking of fruit cakes—magnificent-
ly studded with California raisins, nuts and candied fruits.
As the key to cake success is in ripening, allow 6 weeks or
longer for the cakes to age. Actually, it’s a boon and a bless-
ing that fruit cakes improve upon4>

Time Again To Check Your
Supply Of Holiday Spices
A good part of the fun of Holidays-coming is the bustle of
preparation, of getting the house spic-and-span, of making
plans for this festive season and laying in the necessary
supplies.
There’s the promise of feasting too, in the spicy, nostalgic
fragrance of cookies and fruits
cakes, baked early and hidden

Now is a sensible time to check
the condition of your spice stock.
So many holiday recipes put spe-
cial emphasis on spices, and for
good results, the spices must be
freshly aromatic. Otherwise, all
your good efforts may well be in
vain.
Ground spices lose aroma
much more readily than whole
spices. Sniff them most criti-
cally. They should have a
fresh, bright look and the
aroma should rise deliciously
from the container as you
bring it to your nostrils. Don’t
save faintly aromatic spices
in the mistaken idea that
they’ll be as faint-hearted in
flavor as fragrance. And re-
member, the recipes you fol-
low were tested with fresh,
potent spices.
in mmm/f/M
Quite naturally you want your
spice shelf conveniently near, but
make sure it* is not exposed to
direct sunlight, heat rising from
the stove or excess dampness.
Make it a point to close spice con-
tainers immediately after use.
aging. This way, they can be
made with care when there’s more
time to devote to the project.
A good way to give this year’s
raisin fruit cakes an original twist
is to be especially daring with
shapes and sizes. Almost any con-
tainer—from various sized juice
cans to heirloom convoluted molds
—can set the shape. If in doubt
about how much your chosen con-
tainer holds, count the number of
cups of water it takes to fill the
mold. To insure proper baking,
fill large pans three-quarters full
with batter and smaller ones two-
thirds full.
A flavorful way to age fruit
cakes is to sprinkle'brandy or rum
over the cooled cake before it is
wrapped in aluminum foil, plastic
or Saran wrap for storing. Allo-
cate one of your coolest, driest
hiding places for mellowing your
raisin fruit cake treasury.

Dark Bones
“Are chickens with dark
bones fit to eat?”
Yes, they are. U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture Poultry
specialists say dark bones in no
way affect the wholesomeness or
the flavor of poultry meat.
Dark bones actually are a
sign of a young bird, the spe-
cialists say. And the reason you
are seeing more of them lately
is because producers are mar-
keting broiler-fryer chickens,
fryer-roaster turkeys and duck-
lings at an earlier age.

Prevention Is Best Policy
Freezing Of Water Pipes
One Of Winter's Dangers
In cold weather, water may freeze in underground pipes
laid above the frostline or in pipes in unheated buildings,
in open crawl spaces under buildings, or in outside walls.
When water freezes it expands. Unless a pipe can also
expand, it may rupture when the water freezes. Iron pipe
and steel pipe do not expand ap-<^
preciably. Copper pipe will stretch
some, but does not resume its
original dimensions when thawed
out; repeated freezings will cause
it to fail eventually. Flexible plas-
tic tubing may stand repeated
freezes, but it is good practice to
prevent it from freezing.
Pipes may be insulated to
prevent freezing, but this is
not a completely dependable
method. Insulation does not
stop the loss of heat from the
pipe—merely slows it down—
and the water may freeze if
it stands in the pipe long
enough at below-freezing
temperatures. Also, if the in-
sulation becomes wet, it may
lose its effectiveness.
Electric heating cable can sup-
ply the continual heat needed to
prevent pipes from freezing. The
cable should be wrapped around
the pipe and covered with insula-
tion.
If it is ever necessary to thaw
a pipe the use of electric heat-
ing cable is the best method, be-
cause the entire length of the pipe
is thawed at one time.
Thawing a pipe with a blow
torch can be dangerous. The
water may get hot enough to
the point where the torch is
applied to generate sufficient
steam under pressure to rup-
ture the pipe. Steam from the
break could severly scald you.
Thawing a pipe with hot water
is safer than thawing with a blow-
torch. One method is to cover the
pipe with rags, and then pour the
hot water over the rags.
When thawing pipe with a
blowtorch, hot Water, or similar
methods, open a faucet and start
thawing at that point. The open
faucet will permit steam to es-
cape, thus reducing the chance of
the buildup of dangerous pres-
sure. Do not allow the steam to
condense and refreeze before it
reaches the faucet.
It is a good thing to remember
if you are planning a winter va-
cation or for some reason*'' or
other have to be away from home
for any length of time, be sure
to leave your heat on. It may
seem a waste of fuel, but in the
long run it is far less expensive
than major plumbing repairs.
