Give Canning a Fair Trial

Don't Judge the success of canning
by your first effort with whatever
product you happen to find in market,
when you begin operations" says a
statement just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
is more than likely that if you are
beginner at canning you will start with
Strawberries, the first fruit available.
If you do you should realize that straw
berries are one of the most difficult of
all products to can satisfactorily. 1t
is next to impossible, in fact, to can
this fruit, as distinguished from pre-
serving it Gin which case a much larger
proportion of sugar is used) SO that its
color, size, and texture will be pre-
served.
1T is normal. if ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less brown,
and float to the tops of the jars. The
product is palatable. however, and will
keep perfectly if the sterilization has
been done properly.
Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning is a failure. Above
all, don't become discouraged and fear
that all Your canning will be unsatis-
factory. Practically every vegetable
and fruit worth canning may be canned
and kept in a condition fairly compar-
able in flavor and texture to the fresh
product.
Canned food will be needed next
winter Is it has never been needed be-
fore. Let your slogan be. therefore:
Can all the food you can; dry the sue
culent foods which can not be kept we'll
otherwise
I'm canning. specialize on nutritious
foods and concentrate to small bulk by
cooking down all vegetables high in
water content"
