How To Make Dainties To Take The Place Of Candies
From Dainties by Sarah Tyson Rorer, 1912. Section 35 of 67.
Fruit Marguerites
Put through the meat chopper a small quantity of candied cherries, candied pineapple, apricots and figs; add sufficient orange juice to moisten. Finish as directed in the preceding recipe.
Fruit Sandwiches
Stone a half pound of dates, mix with them an equal quantity of pulled figs or French prunes, stoned; put them through a meat chopper; add sufficient orange juice to moisten, and spread between slices of bread and butter. Cut the slices in rounds, triangles or fingers.
These are nice to serve with chocolate at afternoon or evening affairs.
Chocolate Crackers
These are made by dipping tiny round oyster crackers or very light, small biscuits into chocolate fondant.
Chocolettes are made in precisely the same way, using opera wafers broken into halves. Crackers, being free from sugar, make an exceedingly pleasant cake when dipped in fondant.
