COUNTRY WOMEN tune their desserts to the seasons. Lemon Mist with cheerful Sunshine Sauce is a saga of spring. So are Molded Rhubarb Swirl and Strawberry Shortcake Royale with velvety ice cream sauce.
Summer features such delights as Fresh Blueberry and Fresh Peach Cobblers—country favorites as tasty as pie but easier to make, fresh fruit compotes, and homemade ice creams and sherbets so cool and smooth.
In harmony with autumn are treats like plump apple dumplings, Chunky Cider Applesauce and Snowy Apple Squares (a kind of big pie baked in a jelly roll pan), and apple-cranberry specials.
