CANNING FRUIT
WITHOUT SUGAR
Hss0sIsYs1.eySt.y. e0S..cIa.rssco

Washington. July S1.-Fruit for use
In pie or salads or as stewed fruit can
be put up or canned without the use
of any sugar at all, according to the
canning specialists of the department
They, therefore, advise those who. be-
cause of the high price of sugar have
been thinking of reducing the amount
Of fruit they put up, to can as much
of their surplus as possible by the use
of boiling water when sugar sirup is
beyond their means. Any fruit they
say may be successfully steriliZed
and retained in the pack by simply
adding boiling water instead of the hot
sirup. The use of sugar, of course Is
desirable in the canning of all kinds OF
fruits and makes better and ready
sweetened product, Moreover, most OF
the fruits when canned in water alone
do not retain their natural flavor, tex
ture and color as well as fruit put up
in strip. Fruit canned without sugar
to be used for sauces or desserts must
be sweetened
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull. stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing 1t in strainer
and pouring water over it until il is
