and sealing tightly. it does not depend on the
use Of sugar. Sugar in large quantities, how
ever, Is liset a pFeseryative as IN jams and
jeli.es. Put up fruits and vegetables without
sugar, making sure that they are properly ster-
iiiled and sealed.
The familiar and pleasing sweetness may
be given 10 preserves by honey and ether sub
st1tutes, while the textures of ieilies may be
retained when part-sgbstitution is made. In
al preserving, observe these rules;
!. Use sugar, If possible. Add Il when
the product is used and thus equaiize through
out the year the demand for sugar.
?. Use thin syrup instead Of heavy syrup.
5. Use half sugar and half corn syrup in
preserves, jams and jeiies.
4. Dry fruits when POSSIBLE

dishes, ice cream, mousse; buildings, steamed,

ing the following substitutions. In place Of
one cup CT sugar use one cup of honey OF 3
