STRAWBERRY AT ITS BEST
Sunshine Method Of Preserving Ia
Declared to Be Superior to
Any other Form.

Unlike many fruits, the strawberry
changes its character completely
when it is cooked. 1t neither gains
nor loses; it simply becomes some
thing else almost the moment heat
touches it. Long cooking is, however
detrimental to the flavor. 1t destroys
that peculiar flavor which is impaired
to the berry by heat. This flavor,
which in way is just as delicious as
that of the raw fruit should be pre-
served. Strawberries, too. will not
only lose all flavor with long cooking,
but they will lose their shape as well.
Three or five minutes of a boiling
temperature will drive the heat into
the berries thoroughly and yet pre-
serve their shape and that flavor i'm
parted to them by the heat.
To preserve the flavor of the raw
strawberry, which is entirely differ
sunshine method of preserving must
be followed. The origin of this de-
lightful method is ascribed by some to
Southern housekeepers, declaring 1t
originated in Virginia, where 1t is
favorite process, and others tracing
the first use of the method to Europe.
The sun-cooked preserves are,
however. difficult to prepare. and in
many cases out of question, especially
in city apartments, where sunshine is
not free gift.
Berries of the finest quality are
placed on heated platters dredsed
with heated sugar and covered with
heated sheets of glass. The platters
are placed in strong sunshine to stand
all day long By evening the juice
which surrounds the fruit is placed in
an enameled pan on the fire and
brought to the bubbling stage. then
Immediately poured over the fruit
again. The fruit is then put into
heated, sterilized jars or jelly glasses.
Usually the sirup, If the familiar rule
of pound per pound" is followed, will,
when cold, be sufficiently jellylike to
permit the fruit to keep perfectly in
jelly glasses, with only paraffin Gov
ering. Care should be taken not to
cook the juice too long nor beyond
the boiling point, or it will be sirupy.
