Oven PRESERVING.

While not so popular as the old

method of preserving in the oven is
gaining, and is quite simple. 1t has
the advantage of keeping the fruit
in better shape; pack the fruit care
fully in the jars. Make a strip ac
cording to the requirements of the
recipe, allowing for large fruit pint
of strip to each quart can of fruit
although small fruits that pack solidly
will require not more than cupful
of strip to each jar. After filling
the jars with the fruit, the hot strip
should be poured in and the jar placed
in the oven. setting 1t in a pan OF
water with two inches of water. The
temperature of the oven should be
moderately hot and the fruit in the
Jars cooked from ten to twenty min
utes. Lift the cans from the oven
one at time, remove the lids and
fill to overlooking with the scalding
strip.

Fruits and Their Value.


Fruits contain so much water that
they occupy a low place in the scale
of nutritive food values. But they are
a.useful articles of diet, nevertheless,
because of their anti-scorbutic value.
Fruit also promotes intestinal action,
, but care must be taken that it is
neither too ripe nor unripe. If any
thing. the over-ripe fruit is the most
dangerous, because it is liable to bac-
terra. and deteriorates rapidly. Dates
are highly nutritious; the melon con-
tains the most water, the grape is
rich in the best kind of sugar. and
the currant and raspberry contain a
great amount of free acid. Peaches
are the most fattening of fruits, be-
cause of their cellulose. Fruits are
excellent correctives of the liquor
habit, and one who eats much fruit
is seldom a drinker.
Many kinds of fruit are better put
UP at 1876 degrees than at the boiling
point. For the bacteria in fruit are
easily killed and excessive heat de-
stroys the food value.
