B—Lancaster Farming, Friday, Nov. 30, 1956 For the Farm Wife and Family Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can get down to the business of Christmas. I suppose many of you ladies have your gift and Chirtsmas card lists pretty well completed. But there are always a few problem names on every list Perhaps your neighbor or “Aunt Sue” would enjoy some of your favorite fruit cake, jelly, pickles canned your own special way; homemade candy, relishes, cookies or that homemade bread which brings you so many com pliments. Put in an inexpensive attractive container and wrap with gay Christmas paper and ribbon. These make very spe cial gifts. Here is a relish redpe that would be very nice for Christ mas giving. Vegetables used in this recipe are available all the year ’round so this relish is not limited to summertime canning.
