jures the color and flavor of fruits,
1t Is desirable to cook delicate fruits
such as berries for as short time
as possible. Cooling rapidly after
cooking gives preserves q better color
and flavor than can be secured when
they are packed hot Standing I'm
mersed in sirup after cooking also
helps to plump them. If berry pre-
serves are covered for q brief time
before removing from fire and the YES
sci left covered while cooling, the
product will be more plump.
For cooling, shallow enamel trays
or pans are desirable. Tin is not de-
slrable because fruits will discolor in
it. Pack preserves cold, bring the
slrup in which they have stood to boil
ing, test by observing thickness when
poured from a spoon, and if of proper
density pour over the packed pre-
serves, padding with thin wooden pad
die or knife blade to remove all air
bubbles. If not of the right density
for packing, the sirup must be concen-
trated by boiling. To seal properly
and to insure safety from mold 1t is
desirable that all preserves be pro-
cessed. Tight-sealing jars must be
used, therefore, for these products
Since they can be sterilized below the
boiling point, processing at simmering
$50 degrees c. for 30 minutes is pre-
ferable to boiling, because this tenn
perature will give better color.
The general directions given may be
applied to practically any fruit to
make preserves. For additional con-
venience, however, the following spe-
citic recipes are given for products
most likely to be abundant during the
remainder of the season.
Gingcred Watermelon Rnd-To
each pound of rind cut into 1-inch
squares, add two quarts of water and
one ounce slaked lime. Let stand in
lime water overnight. Next morning
drain and let stand one to two hours
In fresh, cold water. Drain well and
boil rapidly in strong ginger tea Gone

Is minutes. Drain, put into No. 3
strip made by using one pint strained
ginger tea with one quart water and
one and half pounds of sugar. Cook
until tender and transparent (abOut
one and half hours). After boiling
half-hour add half a lemon sliced
thin. Place in shallow pans to cool,
having the rind well covered with ST.
rup. When cool arrange pieces at
tractively in jars, cover to overlooking
with sirup. Cap, clamp, and process.
The density of the packing strip for
preserved and Fingered watermelon
rind (also figs and peaches) should be
between that of No. and No. 6.
Peach Preserves.-Boil three pounds
sugar and three quarts water together

cent-shaped slices. Add the peaches

should be further reduced by boiling

Prepared Specially by the United States
Department of Agriculture)
The fruits which are so plentiful In
many parts of the country this season
may be saved by preserving as well
as by canning. Preserves and SINH
lar products differ from canned fruit
In that much larger proportions of
sugar are used in preparing them, in
that they are cooked longer, and in
that special sterilization in containers
Is not necessary in all cases. Because
Of this many of these products may
be packed In larg-necked bottles and
glasses, and sealed with cork, parafiin
etc. Tight-sealing Jars thus may be
saved for canning.
Preserves, jams, marmalades, etc.,
differ among themselves In the proper
tion of sugar used, the degree OF cook
Ing employed, and the consistency Of
the finished product. Though less
economical to prepare than canned
fruit because Of the relatively large
amounts Of sugar used, preserves and
similar preparations furnish variety
In the ways of putting up fruits and
make valuable additions to the winter
ration Of sweet foods.
Sirups In Preserving.
When preserves are properly made
. the fruit keeps it's form, Is plump, ten
der, clear, and Of good color, the sur
rounding strip being also clear and of
proper density. In making preserves
the object is to have the fruit per-
meated with the strip and this can be
accomplished only by careful proceed
ure. In order to prevent shrinkage 1t
Is necessary to put fruit at first into
thin sirup and increase its density
slowly by boiling the fruit in the strip
or by alternately cooking and allow
ing the product to stand Immersed in
the strip. If at any time the fruit
shrivels or wrinkles the strip should
be made less dense by the addition of
water.
To make these sirups boil sugar and
water together In the proportion CIV
en- below until sugar is dissolved.
Strain all impurities out of the strip
before using:
Sirup No. Fourteen ounces sugar
to one gallon water.
Sirup No. 2-One pound, IA ounces
sugar to one gallon water.
Slrup No. 3-Three pounds nine
ounces sugar to one gallon water.
Sirup No. Alive pounds, eight
ounces sugar to one gallon water.
Sirup No. Silk pounds, 10 ounces
sugar to one gallon water.
If no scales are available the
amounts of sugar may be approximate
ed by measuring, using one pint for
each pound and 16 tablespoonfuls to
the half-pint. For the recipes which
follow oil measurements are level and
the standard measuring cup holding
half pint is used.
For fruits like peaches, pears, wa
termelon rind, ETC., preserving should
be begun In strip not heavier than No.
8. Juicy fruits like berries can be put
at the beginning into a heavier slrup,
about No. 4, because the abundant
Juice of the fruit quickly reduces the
density of the sirup before shrinking
can take place. When the preserves
are finished and ready for packing, the
density of the strip should have
reached that of No. or No. 8. Sirup
made with very acid fruits can be
made heavier than pure sugar slrups
without danger Of capitalization be-
cause the acid inverts some of the
sugar, changing 1t to form which
booking Will not crystalline readily.
