Victory Garden Pickles

Far Into the cold winter months,
long after the Victory cucumber
patch has worn itself out-the big
crooks Of dill pickles-the tars Of dill
pickles-can 90 on and on and pay
tribute to the excellence Of the gar
den.
Making good dill pickles Is really
q very simple matter. There Is 1
great advantage in having the VIC
tory garden a. source Of supply. In
the first place, the pickles will be
made from garden fresh, crisp
"cukes"-a big help. In the second
place. they may be carefully selected
for size and even shape. The ILL
favored, ungainly little fellows will
DO very nicely in the chopped
pickles.
So We select for our dill pickles,
cucumbers from 5 to 8 inches in
length and nice and even In thick
ness. They should be picked early
in the morning preferably with the
dew still on the vine. Immediately,
they must be well scrubbed and
washed In clean water. Then they
should be left to soak all day In
cold water-changed now and then
or with the faucet dripping . little

When time is up, take out one jar

unless self-sealing metal lids have
been used.

cloth or paper to cool. Keep jars
well apart and out of drafts. Next
day remove screw, but do not force
them to get them of. If they stick,
cover for a minute or two with q
hot, damp cloth to loosen.
Tomato juice is put up in much
the same way as plain tomatoes.
Softer tomatoes may be used for
juice if they are not overripe and
have no bad spots. Remove stem
ends, cut into pieces. Simmer until
softened. Put through fine sieve

Civilians can count on buying only
five-eights as much of commercially
canned tomatoes and tomato juice
this coming autumn and winter as
they did last year. That's a word to
the wise for homemakers who have
tomatoes ripening in their Victory
gardens. homecoming some Of
these garden tomatoes now is one
way to make sure of vitamin G for
meals later.
Tomatoes are easy to can when
up-to-date directions, backed by sci
entific research, are carefully fol-
lowed. Can tomatoes by the boiling
water bath method, home econo-
mists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture recommend.
Any big, clean vessel-washboiler,
metal pail, lard can-will do for q
boiling water bath, provided it has
a good lid and is deep enough. The
Gamer must hold a rack and the
jars, and have to 4 inches to spare
above jar tops so water can roll and
bubble
For homemakers who are canning
surplus tomatoes from a small Vic
tory garden, a kettle holding two or
three jars may be big enough. Keep
mer long and can the extra to-
matoes as they come fresh from the
vines.
Have all equipment clean. Look
over every tomato and use only the
ripe, firm and perfect. Even when
a bad spot Is cut out. bacteria may
be left and ruin the whole batch.
Tomato canning routine is this:
Get ready only enough tomatoes
for one canner load at time Han
ole them gently so they will not
bruise and wash in several waters.
For easy peeling put tomatoes in
wire basket or thin cloth, dip into
boiling water about a minute, then
plunge into cold. Cut out stem ends
and peel. Quarter tomatoes and
heat in their own juice. stirring fire.
quently to prevent sticking and
burning
While tomatoes are heating, place
clean jars, glass lids and metal screw
caps IN water and heat to boiling.
Do not boil any metal lids edged
with sealing compound; wipe these
of with a clean damp cloth and dip
into boiling water just before sealing
jars. It is we'll to boil wartime
rubber rings 10 minutes in water and
baking soda q quart fresh water,
tablespoon soda to each dozen
rings, then rinse well to keep rings
from f1avoring food.
When tomatoes have come to q
rolling boil, remove from heat. Take
one jar at time from the hot water.
Fill with hot tomatoes, using a fun
mel if one is available. Cover with
hot juice to within a half inch of
top. Add teaspoon Of salt to each
quart. Work out air bubbles with
a knife blade and add more juice
If needed.
Wipe jar rim with a clean, damp
cloth. A speck of food on the rim
may prevent an alright seal and
cause the tomatoes to spoil. Adjust
jar top according to directions for its
type. Work fast 50 tomatoes will
not cool.
Have water l to 2 inches over the
tops of jars, and put each jar into
the Gamer as soon as jar Is filled
and lid adjusted. When water boils
hard, put on Gamer lid and begin
counting time. Process 10 minutes
at sea level. At higher attitudes.
add an extra minute to processing
time for each 1000 feet above sea
level.
