Directions Worked Out So
Proper Amount of Sirup
Can Be Made.
FOR STRAWBERRIES
Best Method of Preserving
Fruit Told by Wash
ington Men.

Specialists in commercial handling
and preserving of fruits in the bureau
OF chemistry, u. s. department of az
ricnltnre, have worked out the follow
ing accurate directions (Which may be
applied also to household conditions,
for preserving Strawberries SO that
just enough strip of the proper con-
sstency can be made in advance. With
this amount of sirup the berries can be
packed attractively without floating
and no strip will be left over, which
in many cases means an important
saving in sugar.
Sterilize jars.-While the berries and
strip are cooking, place the empty
clean jars and caps in tepid water and
bring to d boil, and allow to boil for
at least Is minutes. Remove the jars
from the water only as they are to be
filled and the caps only when they are
to be placed on the jars. Simply drain
jars and caps; do not wipe them. one
of the inexpensive jar lifters will be
convenient in handling the hot jars.
Steriiizing rubber rings.-Do not boil
rubber rings for any length of time.
just before placing them on the jars
dip the rings for moment into a
quart of boiling water into which one
teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda has
been added.
Strawberry Preserves.
Sirup.--Add 35 ounces of sugar to
one half pine OF water, bring to a boil
and skim.
Preserving.-To this amount of sirnp
add exactly "a pounds of washed,
capped and stemmed Strawberries. Boil
the fruit until it registers o22 degrees
Fahrenheit on a candy or chemical
thermometer. II no thermometer is
available. boil until the sirup is very
heavy--:.nout as thick as molasseS.
Remove scum from the preserves.
Packing.-fill the sterilized jars fun
of hot berries. Pour in enough of the
hot srup to fill the jar. leaving as lit
tie air space as possible. Put steril-
lied rings and caps on at once, but
do not fasten tightly.
