GOOD TASTES
FALL'S SWEET ENDINGS
By Marlene Sorosky
HERE'S SOMETHING ROMANTIC ABOUT
DESSERTS. POETS AND LYRICISTS WRIIE
ABOUT THEM. LOVERS WOO WITH THEM.
COOKS DESIGN MEALS AROUND THEM. DI
ETERS FAST ALL DAY FOR JUST A BITE. DEL
CIOUS AND DECADENT, DESSERTS EVOKE
PASSION, AROUSE ARDOR, ELICIT GUILT THE CROWNING FINALE
TO A MEAL, THEY ARE SAVORED AND SWOONED OVER. AND ANY
DESSERT LOVER WILL TELL YOU, FRUIT IS NOT DESSERT. UN-
LESS, OF COURSE, IT IS ENCRUSTED IN PASTRY, SCENTED WITH
SPICES, FLOATING IN CUSTARD OR BAKED IN A CAKE.
FOLLOWING IS A SAMPLING OF FALL DESSERTS FASHIONED
FROM FRUIT TO SEND HEAR7S THROBBING. JUST IN TIME FOR
THANKSGIVING, THE ALLURING HARVEST PATCHWORK CAKE IS
AS HOMEY, COMFORTING AND ATTRACTIVE AS A SNUGGLY
QUILT, ITS PATCHWORK DESIGN CREATED WITH AL7EI?NATING
SPOONFULS OF CHEESECAKE AND CARROT-PUMPKIN BAT I ERS.
CINNAMON-SCENTED APPLE CAKE IS MOISTENED AND FLA-
VORED WITH APPLESAUCE AND SPRINKLED WITH SUGAR AND
SPICE AND OTHER THINGS NICE, LIKE JUICY DARK RAISINS.
Fruit-fillcd finales to arouse
the passions of even the most
experienced dessert lover.
