A DRY" Story

What do you women really want
10 know about the drying OF fruits
and vegetables You know the
general methods s~uu-jryiug. drying

probably troubled YOU.
For example. the directions tell
you 10 bianch vegetables before dry

III is. If YOU wish TO preserve the
sweet flavor cas- YOU do IN peas and
corn. for example, ii you wish TO
preserve the color of the vegetables
and 10 keep them from getting
tough.
Preserving cine sweet flavor o. peas
and corn is an interesting point.
while they are growing there is q
process going ON which forms sugar
Ia them. This process depends upon
the sunlight. Al the same time.
something in the plant which we
call AN engine is changing the sugar
into starch. Unless we stop this
engine i'm some way. il Will 90 right

BlaEChing-that pluuging into boil

the enZJme action and the sweet
flavor OF the vegetables is preserved.

engine which is responsible cor the

This toushenins goes right on after
the beans are picked unless we make
the engine inactive. Branching also
destroys this engine.
iu everyday language. We should
simply say that blauchiug keeps the
vegetables from getting tough. and
keeps it's sweet flavor when it has
one.
Another point i'm connection with
blanching j. hat any sliciug Of q
vegetable should be done after

whole placed in boiling water. much

To know when the food is dry

whether fruit is dry enough is to

TO press "a single piece. and il no
moisture comes 10 the surface the
piece is sufficiently dry. Berries are
dry enough if they stick to the hand

Raspberries particularly should not
be dried too hard, as this will keep
them from rcsuming their natural
shape when soaked i'm water for

point to consider.
when dried fruits are used they

food matter is lost.
