Keep Canning, Sugar or Not q. s.
Advises.
Keep canning, sugar or no sugar,
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture advises. II you cannot get
enough sugar for home canning put
up the fruit without it. The products
will keep perfectly until the time
when more sugar will be on hand or
q sugar substitute program has been
worked out. FL.
Fruits put up in this way are ex-
cellent for pie filing, salads. May
be used in desserts, buildings, ices
and punches. Just can your fruit as
fresh as possible. Wash and pre-
pare as in any canning and pack
carefully in hot glass jars; pour
boiling hot water over the product.
Place the rubbers and caps in posi-
ton, not tight. Place in a steril-
izer and sterilize for about thirty
minutes. Remove and seal. Wrap
in paper to prevent bleaching and
store in cool, dry place.
Corn syrups and honey can be US
ed in a proportion of two cups of
syrup to three cups of water, brought
to boil, are also excellent for CAM
ming purposes and after the fruit
has stood in this syrup for some
time the flavor is excellent
Don't think that you cannot make
nice custards and creamed buildings,
etc, without sugar because with va
nilla and the aid of corn syrup, (per-
haps if desired just touch of sugar.
we can make excellent custards.
Mix your thickening with the syr-
up, add milk, then cook, stirring un-
til the whole is thick. Add your egg
yolks and cook for about a minute
and then add a, generous half tea
spoonful of vanilla.
The cream and custards in cafe
terias have not been as sweet for
years as some. of the creams and Gus
tards we are now making with the
syrups, and 1 am sure you will all
like them. Try them out.
