CHERRIES

Cherries when canned whole should
be blanched by dipping into boiling
water for Is seconds, which prevents
splitting. For sour cherries, use a
strip made by boiling and straining
five pounds and eight ounces Of sugar
to one gallon Of water. For sweet
cherries, use a strip made Of three
pounds and nine ounces Of sugar to
one gallon of water. Pack in previous
ly boiled Jars. Honey or other sirups
can be used instead Of sugar strip.

TOMATOES IN GLASS

Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes of medium size. Put into
trays and lower into boiling water for
one minute, then plunge into cold wa
ter for a few seconds until skins slip
easily. Remove and cut out the core
with a slender-pOlnted knife without
cutting into the seed cells. Peel
promptly and pack into previously
boiled quart jars. Add one teaspoon
full sugar and half teaspoonful salt
seasoning and fill the jars with q hot
thick tomato sauce. (This procedure
is economical, because each quart jar
will give whole tomatoes for salads
or baking and a tomato PURGE for
soups or sauces) This PURGE, or sauce,
which is poured over the whole tOma-
toes, is made by cooking the small or
broken tomatoes until tender. The
seeds and skins are then removed and
the pulp is concentrated by boiling it
to about the cOnSiStent% Of ketchup.
Place cleansed rubber rings and lids
on the Jars, but do not seal tightly.
Put filled jars on q false bottom in
water bath and boil (process) for 30
minutes, counting from the time the
hOt-Water bath begins to boil around
the jars again. This one boiling is
sufficient. AS each jar is taken from
the boiler, seal it tightly and when
cold test for leaks. Store in cool, dark,
dry place. Test again the rext day
for leaks and if any are found add
cleansed new rubber ring or top If
necessary and reboil. If steam-pres-
sure Gamer is used process quarts for
ten minutes under eight pounds steam
pressure.

RHUBARB

Because Of it's extreme acidity, rhu-
barb can be canned safely without
boiling (processing). Rhubarb should
not be canned in ordinary metal or in
jars with ordinary metal tops. Only
glass or cans specially enameled inside
may be used.
Select young, tender rhubarb and
cut either into twO-inch pieces or into
lengths to fit the jar when placed YER
tically. Pack in steriliZed jars in YER
teal rows. Cover with fresh cold wa
ter and allow jars to stand ten min
utes. Drain off the water and again
fill to overf1owing with fresh cold wa
ter. Use cleansed rubber, put on glass
cap and clamp at once. In the far
South rhubarB should be boiled (pro-
cessed) in a hot-water bath (pints ten
minutes, quarts 20 minutes) at boil
ing.
Since rhubarb contains much water,
q better and more economical product
could be secured by canning rhubarb
sauce Cut the rhubarb into one-inch
lengths and steam until tender. For
each quart of sauce add half a cupful
Of sugar. Pack hot in sterilized jars.
Partially SEAL Boil (process) quarts
for ten minutes. When jars are cold,
test for leaks. Store in a cool, dark,
dry place.-United States Department

ASPARAGUS

Asparagus for canning must be
fresh and tender. This is of the great
est Importance. Select tips of uniform
size and maturity and wash them. Cut
in right length for cans, scrape off
tough outer skin, and tie in bundles.
Blanch by immersing the lower ends
part way in boiling water for two min
utes. Then immerse the entire tips
for one to two minutes longer. Plunge
into a cold saltwater bath Zone table,
spoonful salt to one quart water).
Drain and pack neatly, tips up. Fill
Jars with hot brine (four ounces of
salt to one gallon Of Water) and par
TALLY seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars 80 minutes at Is pounds pres
sure. Seal Immediately, cool, and test
for leaks, and store in a cool, dark,
dry place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, process in the hOt-water bath for
one hour on each Of three successive
days. Loosen the covers before each
subsequent boiling, and seal tightly
after each boiling. Cool, test for leaks
and store.
If the one-period, continuous boil
ing process is employed, boil for at
least three hours. Seal, cool, test and
store-United States Department Of

BERRIES

For dewberries, blackberries, logan
berries, huckleberries, raspberries and
currants practically the same methods
of canning may be used. The condi-
ton of the fruit will have much to do
with the quality of the product. Ber-
ries should be gathered in shallow
trays or baskets and not in deep yes-
sells which allow them to be bruised
and crushed. They should be uniforms
ly ripe, sound, and as large as posi-
BILE.
After the berries have been sorted
carefully and washed lightly by plac-
ing in colander and pouring water
over them, instead of immersing them
in water, pack as closely as possible
without crushing. This can be done
better by putting a few berries into
the jar, pressing them gently into
place, and proceeding layer by layer,
than by nearly filling the jar loosely
and then trying to press them down.
Fill jars full of fruit and cover
with hot strip. Boiling berry juice or
other sirups can be used instead OF
sugar strip. Partially seal jars. Boil
(process) pints ten minutes and
quarts twelve minutes. Seal. When
cold test for leaks and store in cool,
dark, dry place.
The use of sugar strip, made by
boiling three pounds and nine ounces
of sugar to one gallon of water and,
straining, adds to the flavor of the
canned berries. The use of berry
juice expressed from extra berries in
stead Of water in making the strip
will give a richer color and flavor
