14-Orono Week1h Tintes. We-dnesda-v,, December 14th, 1977 Ba ke for Christmas a head of-ti me, With Christmas in the air, many people are baking for holiday entertaining. Food specialists at the Ont ario Food Council, Mlinistry of Agriculture and Food, say that much of the baking can bc done ahead, if carefully planned. First defermine how many Christmas goodies to make. There is a wide variety of Christmas cookies, cakes and breads which freeze very well. Be sure there is suffic- ient room in the freezer. If you are uncertain about freezing a product, first prepare a smiall batch and freeze that test sample. After two or three days, try it to see if the quality is satisfactory. For baked products to maintain the best quality in the freezer, if is important f0 exclude air and prevent loss of moisture. Make sure the packaging is moisture and vapor proof. Package dainty cookies in rigid containers with waxed paper or plastic film between the layers, so fhey will flot be crushed or broken. Breads and biscuits can be packaged in Plastic freezer bags. If The raptures of wrappiing! One of the best parts offthe Christmas gift is the pretty packaging that it cornes in. Decorative papers and or- nate ribbons and bows A make the Christmas tradition of gift-giving that much more exciting. This year, why flot take a littie extra time to make your Christmas presents really special, from the wrapping on down! Yeu can make your girl wrappings a treat to the taste buds as wvell as the eyes! Tie candy canes into the ribbons, or miake little packages of candie's and cookies with cel- lophane and tie the tIo the gifts for- an extra delight! For- a nostalgic touch, wrpyour gifts in fabr-ic swvatches and tie them up with oid-fashîoned gr-osgrain ribbons in gingham checks or perky plaids. cookies or cakes are frosted, freeze fhem before wrapping. Once frozen, wrap. This prevents the frosting from stîcking to the packaging. Remember to date the packages before freezing. Various baked products have different recommended stor- age times. Biscuits, muffins and loaves can be stored approximateîy fwo to three months. Baked yeast breads are best used within six months. Chrstmas fruit cake can be kept in the freezer up to one year.
