This advertisement from the December, 1949 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal provides the reader with a number of delicious-sounding recipes that can all be made from just one pound of Diamond Walnuts! Maybe I’m just extra hungry right now, but these recipes actually all look really good to me. And none of them seem very difficult!
The Harlequin Walnut Cake comes complete with a recipe, and it looks very impressive. I’m sure it would taste great, too! The other “recipes” are really just suggestions for adding walnuts to other dishes:
Hearty Supper Salad - cold cuts, celery, onion, green pepper, carrot, and walnuts.
Always Popular Walnut Bread - maraschino cherries, raisins, walnuts added to quick bread. I bet chocolate chips would also be a nice touch.
Red Devil Parfaits - layers of jello, ice cream, and walnuts.
And another plus for the late-forties’ housewife? Diamond walnuts are cheaper, too! “At their new low prices, Diamond Walnuts are a real bargain in food value!”
