O CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT g
Q SUGAR. .
@ @ Q @ @ O @ @ Q O Q @ @ @ @ .

Washington, d. C.-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 De-
partment.. They, therefore, advise
those who. because of the high price
of sugar, have been thinking of re-
ducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus
as possible by the use of boiling wa
ter when sugar strip 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 strip. The
use of sugar. of course. is desirable
in the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes a better and ready-sweet-
ened product. Moreover. most of the
fruits when canned in water alone do
not retain their natural flavor. tex
ture and color as we'll as fruit put up
in strip. Fruit canned without sugar
to be used for sauces or desserts
must be sweetened.
Directions For Canning Fruits
Without Sirup.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle Of table
spoon, wooden ladle. or table knife
for packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from a kettle,
place rubbers and caps in position.
partially seal if using glass jars, seal
completely if using tin cans. Place
the containers in a sterilizing vat
such as a wash boiler with false bot
tom, or other receptacle improvised
for the purpose. If using a hot wa
ter bath outfit. process for 80 min
utes; count time after it has reach
ed the boiling point; the water must
cover the highest jar in container.
After sterilizing remove packs, seal
glass Jars. wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in a dry, cool
place.
If you are canning in tin cans it
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilization. When
using a steam pressure Gamer in
stead of the hot water bath. sterilize
for 10 minutes with five pounds of
steam pressure. Never allow the
pressure to so over 70 pounds.
