TOMATOES IN ITALY.
1t Is Popular With All Classes in
King Humberfs Realm.

King HumbertS Realm.
In every home and cottage in Italy the
preserving of tomatoes is carried on. Ter
races. balconies and even the fiat roofs
of the houses are half covered with plates
containing the deep red substance After
gathered. the tomatoes intended for pre-
serving are spread out for some hours in
the sun till the skin has somewhat
shrunk. says a writer in Chambers Jour
nal. They are then passed through a
sieve so that they may be freed both from
seeds and skins. AS they contain large
proportion of water the substance which
has been PASSED through the sieve must
be hung in bags from which the water
water Is formed beneath each bag.
Strange to say. 1t is in no way tinged with
red.
The mixture which remains in the bag
has the consistency of very thick paste
IT is then salted, the proportion being a
little less than one ounce of salt to a
pound of preserves. The process now re-
quires that il shall be spread on fiat
plates, exposed to the sun, and stirred
from time TO time with a wooden spoon,
so that the upper part may not form a
crust, while underneath IL remains soft.
II is picturesque sight when the women
are to be seen fitting about on the roofs
and terraces. attending to the deep red
preserve, their colored handkerchiefs
flung on their heads to screen them from
the rays of the burning sun when 1t is
at it's flercest In the evening the con-
tents of the various plates are taken in
and stirred up together, for IL moistened
by the night dew the whole would be
spoiled. After being exposed to the sun
for seven or eight days. the same process
being repeated each day, the preserve is
finished and placed In Jars for winter use.
Though II Is used BY all classes of per-
sons, il IS more necessary TO the poor
than to the rich. for the latter can make
use OF the fresh tomatoes preserved IN
tins Tomatoes may be timed whole
as Weiknow from those usually imported
into England from America. But in Italy
the fruit Is usually passed through
sieve the pulp being then placed in tins
which are Immediately soldered down, and
then put in boiling water for five minutes
The original flavor Is thus retained. The
cost OF a small tin is half a frame so II
Is as a rule beyond the means of the
Door.
