FRUIT is CHEAP NOW
CAN PLENTY FOR WINTER

EulCor OF arm ana FlreSlde.")
This year should be a 'sred letter"
year on the housekeeper's canning
calendar.
There is really no excuse for any
housewife who omits the canning of
fruit from her fall program.
Sugar has not been so cheap for a
long time, and when you buy twenty
five pounds for a dollar you can ask
nothing more from the sugar tr1stl
The fruit crop, moreover, has been
more abundant than in many wears
past, and peaches apples and pears
can be bought for such a low price
that canning really pays even if we
do not raise the fruit ourselves. And
those who do grow their W fruit,
In addition to having plenty to sell,
have ample left over to can and TO
make into fruit %jellies.
Use the Easy "Cold-Pack" Method
The safest, surest and most scien-
tltlc way of modern canning. of
course, is the cold sterilization me-
thod, either with clothes boiler rails
ing the filed jars on rack or small
sticks, OF with some of those snlen-
did sterilization outfits that are now
found on the market. How frequent
ly do we find, nevertheless, that good.
old-fashioned commo sense cook
generally in the country, who proud
ly boasts of never having '1ost a sim
gle jar" of fruit. And this wizard of
a woman never dreams of sterlizing
her jars, but merely trusts to the
through jar washing and new rubber
rings and absolutely tight screwed
covers.
Whatever method YOU NAV en-
oloy, however,-through the novice
n the art of canning and preserving
will do we'll to stick to the through
and sure sterilization methods $
'ure to put up all the fruit you pos
IDLY can or make into fruit iellies

What You Can Do With Peaches
Consider all the various WAYS in
which you a use the peaches, for
ntance,-canned peache, peach but
and peach jelly and peach syrup. 4!

S, but how about those other UNI {
ways of preserving them that :
y1ll surprise the family and save
very bit of the peach. {
AS you cut the peaches for can :
ing, you, if you are wise in the art =
t canning, naturally only pick out Z
hose that are absolutely fresh and {
ute perfect for this purpose. This :
ear a v those hat you would other :
Use discard, and that are not quite z
up to the mark" and set them aside g
nd later prepare them for peach q
All the preparation needed a
this, is to cut out the bad spots {
arefully, remove the "fuzz" of the %
each with a damp cloth, but not =
them, and place them with a
cry little water in a preserving ket-
e. Stew them until they are abso-
tely tender. Put this mixture 8
rough a fruit press or c~olander, .
refining the pulp thus secured with 3
little sugar to taste, and boiling I'M -

mt burning. Then pour into ster- g
zed jars and seal at once. >
