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.
