About Strawberries
Blu Mrs Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority on Household Efficiency

ALI fruits lose the beneficial ef.
fects of their acids and salts by
cooking. It is we'll to remember
this and not insist on using fruit
in cooked forms. Many times a
syrup may be made separately and
the fruits dropped in it, thus keep
ing the fruit without actual cook
ing. Of course, any surplus fruit
beyond daily needs should be
canned or preserved The straw
berry is the first fruit on which the
housekeeper can practice her Sum-
mer' canning.
It is often complained that
canned Strawberries rise to the top
of the jar and look unsightly. How
ever, this objection may be over
come If they are canned in the fol-
lowing manner:
Pick over strawberries, hull.
wash and place in a deep baking
dish. To each quart Of berries add
One-quarter cup of water and one
half pound Of sugar, sprinkling the
sugar well over the berries. Cover
the dish and set in a moderate oven
until the berries are soft. When
cooked remove and set in a cool
place for twelve hours. Then pack
in clean jars, adjust jar caps and
sterilize ten minutes in wash
boiler or other hot water bath can
ming outft.
1t, will be helpful for the house
keeper to remember that four diff
ferent grades Of thicknesses of
syrup are to be used in canning
They are as follows:
General Recipe - Place three
quarts of sugar and two quarts Of
water in a kettle, stir until sugar
is dissolved and bring to the boil
ing point.
For Thin Syrup-Boil one min
ute. This syrup is used for sweet
cherries, pears or other fruits
where very little sugar is needed.
Medium Thin Syrup Boil five
minutes. This is used for raspber-
Ties, strawberries blueberries, etc.
Medium Thick Syrup-Boil ten
minutes. This is used for acid
fruits, like gooseberries, plums,
currants, etc.
Thick Syrup - Boil water and
sugar until it will drop from the
side Of the spoon in drops. This
should be used only for preserves.
The strawberry is a fruit which
also lends itself we'll to delicious
and attractive salads. Probably no
fruit salad is more delectabIe than
one composed of sliced bananas,
sections Of pineapple and whole
strawberries. This should be
served very cold, on lettuce leaves,
with real oil Of mayonnaise info
which is beaten just before serving
