BABY BETS

The following recipe for canning
baby beets Is applicable to carrots.
Only young, tender beets should be
canned to get high quality product.
The best variety for canning is the
Detroit.
Sort the beets, putting uniform sizes
together. Cut the stems off, but be
careful not to cut off too closely or
break the root. This will cause loss of
juice, color and flavor. Boil In an en-
ameled pan until three-fourths done.
peel, pack hot in layers In previously
boiled Jars, fitting the second layer into
the spaces left by the first layer and
repeating, Cover with clear hot wa
ter; partially seal the Jars and boil
them In water bath for one hour con-
tinuously, counting from the time the
water boils again around the jars.
Do not allow cold water to touch
the beets after they have been cooked.
If beets are packed in tin the cans
used must be inside-lacquered. Beets
11s inch In diameter and over should
be cut or sliced before packing into

VEGETABLE MIXTURES

Attractive and economical vegetable
mixtures to be served In salads, with
omelets, escalloped dishes, and gar
nishes for meat dishes can be canned
at home. This by-product may be
canned often when small quantities
are left from packing different vege-
tables whole. Any desired combina-
lions may be made. Vegetables ma
turing in the same season should be
used. A good combination for the
spring would be carrots, peas, string
beans and onions. A mixture which
could be made from the fall garden
might consist Of peppers, celery, on
ions and small lima beans. (Beets cam
not be used in such mixtures because
they discolor the entire contents of the
Jar.) All these vegetables are pre-
pared separately as for canning and
packed in layers in previously boiled
jars. Each layer should be packed as
tightly as possible before the next Is
added. When the Jar Is filed, cover
with brine t2h ounces Of salt to one
gallon of water). Partially seal Jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure Is recommended. Process pint
Jars 45 minutes under pressure of ten
pounds. Seal Immediately and cool in
a draft-free place. When cold test for
leaks and store in a cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent boiling process Is
used, boil for 80 minutes on the first
day, and 90 minutes on the, second
and third days. Before each SUISSE
quent boiling the covers must be loos-
ened, and after each boiling the COW
ers must be securely frightened to
make sealing complete. Cool, test for
leaks and store.
If single-period boiling process is
used. place Jars in the Gamer and boil
for ut least three hours. Seal, cool,
test and store.-United States Depart
