To maintain traditional Christmas cheer for the elders, serve
apple pie with cheese and applejack.
Angelic Camembert
1 ripe Camembert, imported
1 cup Anjou dry white wine
1/2 pound sweet butter, softened
2 tablespoons finely grated toast crumbs
Lightly scrape all crusty skin from the Camembert and when its
creamy interior stands revealed put it in a small, round covered
dish, pour in the wine, cover tightly so no bouquet or aroma can
possibly escape, and let stand overnight.
When ready to serve drain off and discard any wine left, dry the
cheese and mash with the sweet butter into an angelic paste.
Reshape in original Camembert form, dust thickly with the crumbs
and there you are.
Such a delicate dessert is a favorite with the ladies, since some of
them find a prime Camembert a bit too strong if taken straight.
Although A. W. Fulton's observation in _For Men Only_ is going out of
date, it is none the less amusing:
In the course of a somewhat varied career I have only met one
woman who appreciated cheese.
