PEARS RIPE BUT FIRM
ARE BEST FOR CANNING

Pears which are ripe but not yet
soft are best for canning. Peel, and
with large pears, halve and remove
core. Small ones can be packed
whole with stem on. Blanch by low
ering for Is seconds in boiling water
and then put for an instant in cold
bath. Drain and place one layer with
stems up and the second layer with
stems down in jars which have been
boiled for Is minutes. Space is saved
by this method Of packing
When the jars have been packed
with fruit, fill to overlooking with a
strip made to suit the individual
taste. An excellent one is made of z
cups of sugar to a quarts of water.
Boil and skim. Put in place rubber
which has been cleansed in q hot soda
solution q teaspoon baking soda in
one quart Of water), boiled cover.
Tighten cover about half way.

ously. Remove, tighten top, test for

SOME CANNED TOMATOES
SHOULD BE READY ON
YOUR PANTRY SHELVES

Tomatoes can probably be prepared
in a greater number of ways than
any other common vegetable. Ihey
form the basis of many soups and
are used in sauce for fish or oysters
AS a vegetable, they may be used in
many ways. Tomatoes are one of the
stand-bys in salad making and the
combinations made with onions, pep
per and spices are almost endless.
Canned, they do not spoil easily when
reasonable care is exercised In the
work.
One Of the best methods of canning
tomatoes is: Select only sound and
ripe tomatoes. Dip them in boiling
water for about 1 u minutes or until
the skins loosen. Remove .hins and
with a slender-pointed knife, cut out
the core without cutting into the seed
cells. Have in readiness jars which
have been boiled Is minutes. Pack
the whole tomatoes into the jars as
rapidly as they are peeled. Add one
level teaspoon of sugar and -nehalf
teaspoon of salt to each quart. Pu:
on the cleaned rubber which has been
dipped in hot soda water and top
which has been boiled Is minutes.
Half tighten tibet OPP. If hot-water
bath Gamer, either commercial OF
homemade, is used, place jar on false
bottom with sufficient water to pro-
cess the jars. Boil 80 minutes after
the water starts boiling vigorously.
Remove jars, tighten tops, invert to
test for leaks and store in cool,
dark, dry place.
| Another procedure which is more
| economical of space is to fill quart
jars with peeled whole tomatoes and
then pour in thick tomato sauce,

FINEST COMBINATIONS ARE
TASTY WHEN PROPERLY CANNED
United States Department of Agriculture Tells How DIFF
ferent Fruits Can Be Saved by Following
Their Rules


2 large oranges, n pound finely
ground nuts.
Take sound, ripe grapes, weigh and
pulp them. Separate the pulp from
the skins and heat the pulp and juice
until the pulp breaks down enough
to liberate the seeds. Remove seeds
by passing through colander
Grind thes kins, add one-half pint
water for each pounds of fresh
fruit, and cook until quite tender.
Mix skins and pulp together and add
for every 3 pounds of fresh fruit l
scant pound of sugar, one-half pound
of finely ground raisins, the pulp of
two oranges, and onefifth OF the
ground peel of one orange. Cook the
mixture approximately 1 hour in an
oven or over slow fire, until thick
as jam. Then stir into the mixture
u pound of ground pecan-nut meats.
After allowing it to boil again for
about 5 minutes, remove from the
fire, pack hot into freshly sterilized
half-pint jars ana seal at once. Pint
jars may be used if desired. Boil
(process) the half-pint jars for rs
minutes in hot-water bath and the
pint size jars for so minutes.
Fig Conserve
Two pounds of fresh figs or quart
of plain canned figs, orange, l u
pounds of sugar, Il cup of pecan
(shelled), u pound of raisins.
Cut all, except nuts into small
pieces and cook until thick and trans

as for plum conserve.
Medley Fruit Conserve
Two pounds peaches, l u pounds
ounces, IL pounds pears, l pound
apples, lemons, sugar.
Wash, peel, and core or stone the
fruit Pass through food chopper
and weigh. For each pound of fruit
allow three-quarters pound of sugar.
Put fruit and sugar in alternate lay
ers in bowl and let stand over
night. Place the fruit, the pulp of
the lemons, and one-half the rind of
the lemons, sliced thin, into the pre-
serving kettle, and boil until the
mixture is thick as jam. One cup of
scalded, chopped nuts may be added,
if desired, minutes before removing
from the fire. Pack hot into hot
sterilized jars and seal at once. Boil

LIMA BEANS SHOULD BE
HURRIED INTO THE CAN

Gather lima beans for canning
when the beans are in prime condi-
ton for the table. The sooner the
beans are canned after picking, the
better the product.
After sheling the beans, sort care
fully according to size. Blanch for
3 to 8 minutes in live steam or boil
ing water. Drain well and pack inn
mediately in hot glass jars which
have been boiled for Is minutes Fill
jars with brine made with 5 table
spoons of salt and gallon of water.
Put on rubber ring which has been
dipped in a hot soda solution Il tea
spoon baking soda to l quart water).
Half screw on top (Which has been
boiled Is minutes) ii screw-top is
used, or fasten the top bail if glass
top is used. Place jars on false bot
tom in the water-bath Gamer, either
homemade or commercial. Water
should cover the tops of the jars. If
one period Of processing is used, boil
for 1870 minutes after water starts
to boil. If the intermittent process
ing is followed, boil 1 hour on each
of three successive days.
A steam-pressure Gamer is recon-
mended for the canning of lima beans
If one is used, process for 45 min
utes under 10 pounds of steam at a
temperature of 240 degrees f. After
processing the required time, remove
the filled containers, tighten the GOV.
ers of the jars, cool and test the seal
When cold, wrap in paper and store
in dry, cool, dark place.
Usually, a better favored finished
lima bean product is obtained by dry
ing lima beans instead of canning
them.
Very large lima beans are otter
canned with corn for sucotash in
parts of the country where corn and
beans mature at the same time

DRYING PEACHES BY USE
OF FACILITIES IN HOME

Peaches are usually dried unpeeled
although a superior variety is made
by removing the skins. Select peaches
for drying which are ripe but not
soft Wash, cut in half, remove
stone and place in trays with the pit
side up.
Many housewives use a I've solution
for removing the skins. Dissolve
two pounds of commercial concen-
trated I've in 10 gallons of water.
When boiling hot, place the peaches
in a wire or wooden basket and
plunge in to the solution for 1 to 2
minutes, moving the basket up and
down to hasten contact with the I've.
Lift from I've when fine cracks or
checks in the peel appear. Plunge
Immediately into cold water and move.
about to wash oil the lye. Remove
the skins by rubbing between the
hands or with brush. Wash to re-
move adhering lye. Halve, take out
pits and place on the drier, cavity
side up.
If peaches are dried in the sun,
cover with muslin or mosquito net
ting to protect from insects the same
as with other kinds of fruit. In an
artifcially heated dried the tempera-
ture at the beginning of drying
should not be more than 100 degrees
+. This may be gradually increased
to 100 degrees. When the pieces are
pliable and leathery and no moisture
can be pressed out of the freshly cut
surface, the product is sufficiently
dry. Transfer from the drier to
large, clean wooden or pasteboard
boxes and cover with muslin which
will admit the air and exclude in
sects. Place the box in q warm room
in a rather dark spot. Stir daily
until the fruit is in uniform condi-
ton, after which pack it in perman-
ent containers and store in a dry,
airy place.

When two or three fruits are COM
bincd for putting up" the result is a
product with an entirely different
flavor which adds variety to the
menu. Certain fruit flavor blend to-
gether better than do others. The
following combinations are recon-
mended by United States Department
of Agriculture specialists:
Apples and ounces; white currants
and gooseberries; apples and black
culrants; rhuL,tru and quincuj; green
gage plums and lemons; grapefruit
and oranges; tangerines and oranges;
grapefruit, red currants and raspber-
r1es; raspberries and cherries; piums
and apricots; oranges and rhubard
with strawberry juice.
When small fruits are used in the
preparation, they are left whole. Lar
ger variety fruits are cut into small
pieces. Raisins or nuts or sometimes
both may be added to fruit combina-
tons. They add a desirable flavor
and increase the food value of the
product. In preparation, enamel OF
agateware vessels should be used.
To serve as fruit cocktail, salad
or dessert, the following fruit combi-
nations are excellent: Green gage
plums, pears and gooseberlies; pine
apples, kumquats and figs; Peaches
pears and cherries. The jar is pack
ed with the preferred combination, I;
