Add
1 tablespoon marshmallow cream and ¼ teaspoon vanilla, and fold over and over until again stiff enough to hold its shape.
Add
⅓cup (3) figs cut in small pieces and
⅓cup nut meats cut in small pieces.
Pile on
Small round crackers and bake at 375 degrees F. for 10 minutes or until delicately brown. This rule will cover 3 dozen small crackers.
Should frosting be too soft to hold its shape after adding marshmallow cream, it may be again placed over hot water, and folded gently over and over, until it becomes slightly granular around the edges. Remove from hot water, and continue folding over gently until of the desired stiffness.
MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
Use above mixture with or without figs and nuts as a cake filling or frosting. It need not be baked.
CANDIED MINT LEAVES
Wipe
Fresh mint leaves, remove from stems and rub each leaf gently with the finger dipped in
Egg white slightly beaten.
Mix
3 tablespoons granulated sugar with
3 drops oil of spearmint, and sift over each side of the mint leaves.
Lay close together on a cake rack covered with wax paper and leave in a warm but not a hot place until crisp and dry.
