Welcome
Hi Everyone!I am sorry that this month's ezine is arriving a bit late, but I got a new Apple computer and have been busy updating programs and transferring my many files. There has been a lot to do, but with the help of this fast, new iMac G5, I should have more time to write new recipe pages for the website.
So far, we have had a relatively mild winter here in the Peterborough area. I have only had to use my snow blower once this season. There is about 2 or 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) of snow on the ground at present, but with today's temperature hovering around 10șC and rain in the forecast, the ground will soon be bare.
Enjoy this month's ezine and thanks for visiting my website.
Sincerely,
Don

Old-Time Roley Poley Candy Recipe
This old-fashioned recipe is taken from "The White House Cook Book" by Hugo Ziemann, Steward of the White House, and Mrs. F. L. Gillette, a celebrated 19th-century cookbook author, published by The Saalfield Publishing Company, New York, in 1913.Take half a pint of citron, half a pint of raisins, half a pound of figs, a quarter of a pound of shelled almonds, one pint of peanuts before they are hulled; cut up the citron, stone the raisins, blanch the almonds, and hull the peanuts; cut up the figs into small bits.
Take two pounds of coffee sugar and moisten with vinegar; put in a piece of butter as large as a walnut; stew till it hardens, but take off before it gets to the brittle stage; beat it with a spoon six or eight times, then stir in the mixed fruits and nuts.
Pour into a wet cloth and roll up like a pudding, twisting the ends of the cloth to mold it. Let it get cold and slice off pieces as it may be wanted for eating.
