Canning Fruit Without Sugar.

Canning Fruit without Sugar.
TRUlT 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 United States department, of agri-
culture. They therefore, advise those
who, because 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
syrup is beyond their means. Any fruit.
they say may be successfully sterilized
and retained in the pack by simply add
ing boiling water instead OF the hot
syrup. The use Of sugar. of course. is
desirable in the canning of all kinds OF
fruits and makes better and ready
sweetencd product Moreover most of
the fruits when canned in water alone
do not retain their natural flavor, tex C
ture and color as well as fruit put up
in syrup. Fruit canned without sugar
to be used for sauces or desserts must
he swcetened.
Directions for Canning Without Syrup.
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 il until it is clean.
Pack thoroughly in glass jars or tin
cans until they are full use the handle
OF a tablespoon, wooden ladlc, or table
knife for packing purposes. Pour over
the fruit boiling water from kettle,
place rubbers and caps in position, par
tally seal il using glass Jars, seal com
plctely II using tin cans. Place the con
tainers in a stcrilzing vat such as a
wash boiler with false bottom, or other
receptacle imptoviscd for the purpose.
II using hot water bath outfit, process
for thirty minutes count time after the
water has reached the boiling point;
the water must cover the highest Jar
in oontainer. After sterlizing remove
packs, seal glass jars. wrap in paper to
prevent bleaching and store in a dry,
cool place.
II you are canning in tin cans il will
improve the product 10 plunge the cans
quickly into cold water Immediately
after sterilization When using a steam
pressure Gamer instead of the no,
water bath, sterilize for ten minute,
with five pounds OF steam pressure.
Never allow the pressure to 60 over ten
pounds.
