Fish Suppliec
This Year

Again this year supplies of fresh
and frozen fish will be much more
plentiful for civilians than canned
fish, according to the War Food Ad-
ministration. Although this years
pack Of canned fish Is expected to
be slightly larger than last years
heavier demands for canned fish
from United States military and wal
services will leave stocks in grocery
stores less than half as large as
usual peacetime supplies.
Catches Of some seasonal varieties
OF flSh are now unusually large, and
good supplies of fresh fish are ex-
pected on the market, differing with
the season and the part Of the coun-
try. In New England fresh mackerel
Is now particularly abundant and
prices reasonable. In the Middle
Atlantic region fresh croakers, sea
trout, butterf1sh, sea bass and
mackerel are good buys.
Stocks Of frozen fish in cold stor-
age are the largest on record for this
time of year-50 per cent larger than
this time a year ago. Larger than
normal supplies Of frozen mackerel
fillets are stocked In the East-so
much larger, in fact, that the War
Food Administration Is urging house
wives to buy mackerel, both fresh
and frozen, at this season to relieve
the storage situation and prevent
waste Of this excellent food. Other
frozen fish in volume supply are cod
fillets, whiting, hake, ocean pout and
haddock fllletS.
As for canned fish, salmon and
California sardines (pilchards) will
be most abundant on the market,
but the fancier varieties of salmon
will be hard to find on grocery
shelves because most of this stock
will be taken by the military. The
less expensive grades of canned SAL
mon. however, are quite as valuable
nutritionally and good in flavor

Thrifty Fruit
Buffers

The cook who is thrifty with her
canning sugar will give special con-
sideration to fruit buffers in home
preserving, suggests the United
States Department of Agriculture.
OF all the sweet spreads from jelly
to marmalade the buffers take the
least sugar in proportion to fruit.
Many late season fruits are ideal
for butter-peaches, apricots, plums,
ounces, apples and grapes.
Grape and apple butter have an
other thrift point in their favor
the same batch of fruit may be used
first for jelly, then for butter. After
cooking the fruit, drain of some of
the juice for jelly, then cook down
the sieved pulp for butter.
Use about half as much sugar
as sieved fruit or less, according to
taste and the sweetness of the fruit.
Add sugar to sieved fruit and
fourth teaspoon of salt to each gall
lon of the mixture to bring out
flavor. Boil rapidly stirring to pre-
vent scorching. AS butter thickens,
lower heat to avoid scorching.
When thick stir in l to 2 teaspoons
mixed ground spice to each gallon.
Pour boiling hot into hot sterile
jars and seal.
