COMPUTER TRAINING LOTUS â€" and many more â€"Omllls's Business School " is V) & By JANE LANGDON Special to the Beaver ust as we‘re experiencing a fashion blast from the past with the return of crocheted vests, bell bottoms, granny dresses, and platform shoes, food experts expect a popularity resurgence for fondues, vegetable terrines, gazpacho and ‘make your own‘ ice cream sundae bars. Food follows fashion. As everything from the ‘60s and ‘70s is new again, it‘s only natural that "foodies" are swooning over food fashions from that era, even if they are in an updated form. In keeping with the times, the folks at Best Foods salute this need for the nosâ€" talgic tastes of yesteryear with some ideas for a ‘90sâ€"style ice cream sundae bar. "For me, sauces are the most imporâ€" tance part of ice cream sundaes," says Sandra Albrecht, director of Consumer Services at Best Foods Canada Inc., "and they‘re so much more scrumpâ€" tious if you make them yourself." Luckily, making your own i1ce cream sauces won‘t task the time or ability of today‘s busy cooks especially if you use corn syrup â€" a staple in most Canadian kitchens â€" as the sweetener. "I think one of the key reasons corn syrup makes such a natural base for sundae sauces today is because people have been pouring it over ice cream for years," adds Albrecht. "You can create delicious sauces in minutes just by adding two or three ingredients that are probably already in your cupboard, like peanut butter, chocolate chips, or canned crushed pineapple, and you can easily adjust the 338â€"6600 OPENED UP MORE TEE TIMES FOR PUBLIC PLAY AT THIS EXCLUSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE $60 + ast TDAYS/WEEK Just 20 minutes from Mississauga, Burlington and Oakville on the escarpment in Milton. emy OrF Leagming NOW YOU CAN BECOME A "LADDER" MEMBER AT GREYSTONE FOR $1000 & ANNUAL DUES FOR 1994.

Fruit sauces made with corn syrup taste less sweet and have a fruitier flaâ€" vor than those made with granulated sugar. As well, the natural liquid form of corn syrup results in almost instant solubility when it‘s combined with ingredients such as cocoa or powdered spices. And sauces using corn syrup are especially easy to prepare in the microwave. Corn syrup is available in golden, clear, and dark varieties. Golden corn syrups like Crown and Bee Hive, lend a subtle flavor and golden color to fruit sauces. Clear corn syrup such as Lily White is recommended when no extra flavor is desired. Darker syrups like Karo have a stronger molasses taste which is especially delicious on its own. Of course, what goes under the topping a ‘90s style sauces has come a long way from the days of vanilla, chocolate, and strawâ€" berry ice cream choices.

And, sales are much better this summer, thanks to the weather. "Sales have gone through the roof!" says MacDonald. "With the weather being so hot, it‘s gone nuts!" Overall, sales were up 8% in May, the most recent month for which the Dairy Bureau has compiled statistics. ‘Super premium‘ ice cream such as Ben & Gerry‘s, Hiagen Dazs and Baskinâ€"Robbins, are up 26%, he added. "Business is booming," says Dennis McKay, sales managâ€" er for Stoney Creek Dairy. Although the company produces a number of ice cream bars and other products for the ice cream industry, its own brand of Stoney Creek Ice Cream, whether sold in twoâ€"litre and one litre packs, or by the scoop, "accounts for about 60% of our total sales," said McKay.
