false bottom enables water to get un-
der the juice containers and the cover
OF the water bath confines the steam,
which sterilizes the upper parts of the
containers. Just as soon as the tenn
perature of the juice has reached the
point at which sterilization has been
assured, remove the bottles containing
the juice from the water bath, seal at
once, and store in dark, cool place
| until desired for us. In sealing the
fruit jars, before clamping them, dip
| the rubbers for a moment in the hot
| water of the water bath, so that thev
| also will be steriiized. If bottles are
used cork them with new corks that
| have just been soaked for about 30
minutes In water at a temperature of
rot less than 140 degrees f. Use a
cork little wider than the mouth of
the bottle, and after inserting this as
far as possible cut off the rest of the
cork even with the mouth. Dry the
mouth of the bottle thoroughly and
dip in melted mixture Of equal parts
of beeswaX and rosin or in melted
paraffip.
HOt-Prcss Method.
The hot-press method is identical
with the cOld-press method, except
that the crushed fruit is heated nearly
but not quite to the boiling point and
is then pressed while hot. In home
work the fruit generally is heated in
large dish pan. Stir it while heat
ing. so as to bring the entire mass
simultaneously to the desired temper
ature. Then place it in n cheesecloth
bag. hung over a receptacle to catch
the juice, and press by hand. Allow
the juice to cool, strain it, and then
proceed as in the cold-p press method.
Canned Grapes.
Canning is a very economical way
of utilizing Muscadine grapes, since
little sugar is required for this pro-
cess. The canned grapes are suitable
for serving on the home table in
sauce dishes as a breakfast appetiz-
err q side dish, or dessert. They can
be used also in pies, pudding, cakes,
etc.
In the Investigations of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture the Muscadine
grapes were canned successfully by
three methods, designated as the
cooking method, the sugar syrup
method, and the grape syrup method.
The first is the easiest and most
practicable, while the two others have
the advantage of yielding more at
tractive products, because the berries
do not lose their shape. Whatever
the method, the essential features are
QD getting rid Of the seeds, (2) soft
ening the skins. CD sweetening with
small addition of sugar, and (4)'
careful sterilization and sealing in
fruit jars.

The following directions for MAX
ing unfermented Muscadine grape
juice are based upon the experiments
of the United States Department of
Agriculture in 1915:
l " COld-Prcss Method.
Secure sound, clean. fully ripe fruit;
crush the fruit by hand or. better,
with q homemade crusher. If cider
mill is available, it is we'll adapted for
both crushing and pressing. After the
berries are crushed the juice should
be pressed from the fruit Immediately.
Small quantities of fruit can be press
ed in a clean cloth sack by hand, but
IL as much as q bushel Of grapes is
being handled cider mill or an in
expensive homemade press should be
used. Having secured the fresh grape
juice. strain it through flannel and
then place it in bottles or fruit jars
While bottles are suitable if preferred,
the quart clamptop or lightning seal
type OF fruit jar is recommended as
the best container for grape juice for
home use. Such jars ordinarily are
more conveniently and successfully
used, are more generally available,
and can be used also as containers for
other products in succeeding years
Having placed the juice in bottles or
Jars, put these in water bath and
steriliZe by heating until the juice has
reached temperature near but not
quite up to the boiling point. If a
thermometer is available, the tempera-
ture can be tested. As soon as the
Juice has reached q temperature of
100 to 1916 degrees +. remove it from
the sterilizer. If no thermometer is
available, remove the juice as soon as
1t shows the first sign Of simmering
preliminary to boiling. A good home
water bath or sterilizer can be pro-
vided by placing false bottom Of

Cooking Method.


In canning grapes by the cooking
method, which is the one generally
recommended for home use, use firm
but fully ripe fruit. After weighing
the berries, separate the skins and
pulps after running the fruit through
a crusher. If preferred, the berries
may be pulped by hand. Then place
the hulls in a closed vessel, adding
one-half pint of water for each .
pounds of fresh fruit Cook until the
hulls are quite tender. When this
point is reached, the added water will
have mostly evaporated unless the
vessel has been very tightly closed.
While softening The hulls, heat the
pulps and juice in another vessel un-
til the pulps break down enough to
liberate the seeds. Then put the pulp
through q cOlander to get rid of the
seeds. Put the seedless pulps and soft
ened hulls together when cool and
add sugar and water at the rate of
pound of sugar and one-quarter pint
OF water to each pounds of fresh
fruit. Then bring the mixture slowly
TO boil, and after boiling for 8 to 10
minutes pack and seal it while hot
in hot steriiZed fruit Jars.
Sugar Syrup Method.
In canning the whole berries by the
sugar syrup method use firm, ripe
fruit. Slit all the berries on the side
horizontally with n small bladed knife
and then brush the seeds from them
with the point of the knife. Pack
the seeded whole berries. cold. in mint
jars and pour over the fruit until the
Jars are filled a sugar syrup made by
boiling equal measures of sugar and
water together for / minute. After al
lowing to stand for half an hour to
permit the syrup to seep through tho
slit in the berries, refill the jars with
syrup, and put the rubbers and caps
in place with the jar clamp in a
raised position. Then steam the jars
in home steamer until the skins
have softened and the fruit and lars
are sterilized. While the jars are still
hot refill with boiling sugar syrup
and then seal by clamping down the
lid. The proper length of time to
steam the fruit and jars varies with
the variety. The Scuppernong re-
quires approximately AN hour; the
James should steam an hour and a.
half; and the Thomas will require
fully two hours. The aim should be
to steam the fruit long enough to
soften the skins without having the
berries break down. Unless the seed
are removed so that the sugar syrup
gets inside as we'll as outside, the ber-
ries shrivel up when canned by this
process.
Grape Syrup Method.
