Small - appliances By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Extension Home Economist Homemakers many times receive small appliances for gifts from well meaning friends and relatives. But so many times the new appliance ends up stored away for some future use. We get set in our ways and find it difficult to adjust to a machine that does our work for us. One Os the most misused small appliances is the blender. Since it is usually a gift we do not evaluate our need for it before the purchase. There are many food chores that a blender will perform, other than making malts and shakes, but we are so used to doing it by hand that we don’t use the blender efficiently. Blenders do differ with the manufacturer so be sure to read your instruction manual. Fruits and vegetables are easily chopped in a blender if the vegetables are covered with water. Hard foods should be cut in one inch pieces. Prepared mixes such as cake mixes, pancake mixes and instant puddings can be easily combined in a blender. Cream can be whipped by using the first speed on most blenders. If you run out of powdered sugar it can be prepared in the blender with granulated sugar. Place one half cup granulated sugar in the blender cover and blend on speed seven until smooth. The chore of rolling crackers for cracker crumbs is easily taken care of with your blender on low speed. Nuts, candy, and onion can be pulverized in a matter of seconds. If your blender is stored away under the sink get it out, dust it off and start practicing. Make a point of using it at least once a week. It is a time saver and labor saver — but only if you use it. Cherry Whirl ¥4 cup maraschino cherry syrup, ¥4 cup cold pineapple juice, 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin, ¥> cup boiling pineapple juice, ¥4 cup maraschino cherries, ¥2 lemon seeded and peeled, one-third cup sugar, V 2 cup light cream, 2 cups ice cubes. Put cherry juice, cold pineapple juice and gelatin into blender container. Cover and process at low speed to soften gelatin. Remove feed cap and add boiling pineapple juice while processing. If gelatin granules cling to container, use a rubber spatula to push them into the vortex. When gelatin is dissolved, turn to higfT' speed, and add remaining ingredients and continue

You’ll not only be giving a nice gift... you’ll be helping to dispell the winter “blahs.” Amaryllis bulbs should be purchased from local nurseries, florists or garden centers which handle fall bulbs, says John A. Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist. Select a large, plump bulb in the desired color of reds through white. Set one bulb to a pot (clay is preferable), allowing one inch of space around the bulb. Use a mixture of one part topsoil and one part peat moss, or purchase a potting mixture. Set the bulb so

one-third to one-half of the bulb shows above the soil levels. Water well and place in a sunny location at 60 degrees F. Flowering should occur six to feight weeks after potting, says Wott. For additional information, obtain a copy of cooperative extension service publication, HO-19, “Forcing Bulbs for Indoor Bloom,” at your county extension office or by writing mailing room. AG AD building, Purdue university. West Lafayette, IN 47907. Single copies are free to Indiana residents. By careful handling, an amaryllis bulb should bloom indoors for years to come. While the flower stalk is . elongating, feed with a complete liquid fertilizer every two to three weeks. After flowers fade, cut the flower stalk off and continue watering and fertilization. When all danger of frost has passed, you can place the pot outdoors and allow the plant to continue growth. Any interference during this summer growth will hamper the proper development of the bulb in preparation for the following spring’s flowers, Wott explains. After a fall rest period and repotting, the bulb can be used for another winter show.
