Fruit Canning

Plan now to put up those fruits
from the market or your victory
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-07-23

full planning than ever before, for
waste in the fruit itself, canning
jars, rubbers or sugar is highly I'M
desirable.
Chart your plans before embark
ing on the canning program. Con-
slider first how much sugar you will
have available, with the five pounds
per person allotment for people who
are canning. Plan this amount SO
it will do for the jams, jellies, pre-
serves, and sugar syrups for fruit
canning.
A hot water bath is best for pro-
cessing fruits because they are acid.

boiler or vessel with tight fitting
cover. Fit this with rack at least
" inch from the bottom. Fill the
rack with enough water to cover
jars at least one inch over the top.
Count the processing time as soon
as water surrounding the jars begins
to boil. There should be free circu-
lation of water around jars.
For oven canning, set the tempera-
ture at $50 degrees. Set jars on a
rack in the cold oven, however. Start
counting time when the oven is
switched or turned on. Do not al
low the temperature ever to exceed
ESQ degrees as this causes liquid to
boil away and evaporate.
In placing your jars in the oven,
allow for free circulation Of heat be-
tween them. Do not allow the jars
to touch each other, as this will often
cause breakage, and do not allow
them to come in contact with the
sides of the oven.
The Sugar Question.
Fruit may be canned successfully
without sugar or sugar syrup with
water or fruit juice used in its place.
Sugar, however, does mellow and
ripen the fruit, giving it better
flavor. You might try making your
fruit syrups for fruit canning less
sweet than usual if you are short on
sugar.
Honey may be used in place Of
sugar in making the sweet syrup,
but the fruit will be somewhat more
dark than If sugar is used and the
fruit flavor will be intensified. Use
honey for each cup of sugar in the
substitution.
White corn syrup is another &C.
ceptable substitute, but since it is
less sweet than sugar, substitute 13s
cups of corn syrup for / cup Of
sugar.
Syrups to Use.
Thin syrups (No. u are used for
small, soft fruits such as cherries
and berries. Make the syrup by us

Generally speaking, kat is
stimulating and tonic but non
narcotic. Many natives would be
unable TO complete their ordinary
tasks before sampling the plant
which takes the place Of Euro
pean alcohol and is accompanied
by the same phenomena Of eX-
element.
But among those who abuse
the habit the body tends 10 dry,
the face becomes emaciated, and
nervous disorders follow, the
most common being a trembling
Of the limbs. But these cases are
comparatively rare. At times a
too great indulgence in the slim
ulant produces a state of drunk
enness, particularly when the
large leaves are eaten.
The plant is the object Of spe-
ciaI culture in the gardens Of
Harrar and is raised in three
different forms as dwarf shoots,
shrubs, and small trees.

about Shapi's work is the fact
that, although he works with live
models. the legs he fashions on
his drawing board are more
shapely and perfect than any
human underpinning could be.

Like all artists, Shapi is out to

faithfully copy a pair of legs, no
matter how slim and trim they
might be, they'd still lack the
