I, Alma Turnbull, am fifteen
years of age and attend the Exe
ter District High School. I live
in Grand Bend. For my Home
Project I chose to do canning
fruits and vegetables because I
feel it is an essential thing for
any prosperous housewife and it
also cuts down on the cost of
your daily meal planning.
I canned a variety of fruits
and vegetables consisting of
peas, beans, corn, tomatoes,
raspberries, cherries and straw
berry jam.
The cooking time of each
varies, as the acidic or fruits do
not require much cooking to
kill the yeasts and molds. The
vegetables require longer cook
ing because of the growth of
bacterial spores in them.
The strawberry jam took from
5-UO' minutes. The vegetables
took approximately, three hours.
The fruit took approximately 10
minutes. The tomatoes took ap

beans .30;

.73. The total cost was $‘4.21.
The Details Of Each Variety
Strawberry jam: To prepare
the fruit for the jam, I ground
about two quarts of fully ripe
berries until they were reduced
to pulp: two quarts of berries;
seven cups of sugar; one half
bottle* of certo. I added the
sugar to the prepared fruit in a
large open kettle, mixed it well
and boiled hard for two minutes,
stirring constantly. Then I re
moved it from the heat and stir
red in the certo, and stirred and
skimmed for about 5 minutes.
This prevents floating fruit. I
poured it quickly into sterilized
jars and covered them
melted parafin wax.
Cherries: I pitted and washed
the cherries, from one dish of
clean water to another, this is
to remove the acid, I filled the
jars about three parts full and
made a thin syrup of two cups
of sugar and one cup of water,
which I poured over the cherries.
I loosened the ring one turn, to
let the steam out and put in the
steamer and brought to the boil,
and boiled for ten minutes.
Raspberries: I washed the
berries thoroughly and packed
them in the sterilized jars. I
poured in a thin syrup of 1 cup
of .sugar and two cups of water.
I tightened the rings and put in
the steamer and boiled for ten
minutes.
, Tomatoes: I poured boiling
water over the tomatoes and
skinned them. Then I placed
them in a bath of 1 tablespoon
of salt to approximately two
quarts of watei' and boiled for
five minutes. Then I lifted them
out with an open spoon, filled
the sterilized containers and put
on rubbers and rings and sealed
them I turned the ring back one
turn to let the steam escape.
Then I put them in the steamer
and processed for 20 minutes.
After they were cooked suf
ficiently, I removed them from
with juice, tightened the sealers
rings. To be sure that it was
sealed tight I turned the jar up
side-down on the table and let
cool. If the jar leaked, another
one would have to be used.
Corn: I husked the corn and
cut it off the cob. Then I
covered it with water and added
one tablespoon of salt in open
kettle and boiled for five min
utes. Then I packed the corn in
the sterilized containers, being
sure it was covered with the
juice it was boiled in. I tighten
ed the rings and turned back
one turn, put in the steamer
and cooked for three hours.
Beans: I snipped, cut and
washed the beans, then covered
them with water, added one
tablespoon of salt in an open
kettle and boiled for five min
utes. I packed in sealers, being
sure the beans were covered
with juice, tighened the sealers
and turned back one turn, i?ut
in the steamer and cooked throe
hours.
Peas: I
packed i n sterilized containers,
added one teaspoon of salt and
filled With boiling water. They
were put in the steamer
boiled, for three hours.
I believe that my effort
of good success as so far
thing has spoiled. Canning isn’t
really a miserable job as some
people describe it and as a
matter of. fact I like it quite
well. The only one I had any
trouble with was the beans, and
I believe they were cooked too
Tong, because they turned brown
er than usual, but for the taste
they were perfectly alright.
It seems that some people
would rather buy all their food
in cans rather than preserve it
themselves, because they claim
it is cheaper. I have tritd to
estimate the approximate cost
i of the food I canned, which is
rather a difficult task.

when Rev. P. A, ’Ferguson
united in marriage Marion Iso-
‘ Mrs.
James St. W.M.S.
The regular meeting of the
Afternoon Auxiliary met in the
Sunday School room on Thurs
day afternoon, with a splendid
attendance. The president, Mrs.
O. Down, was in the chair. The
meeting opened with prayer by
Mrs. Down, and the singing of
hymn 346. After the minutes
and business part, the Devotion
al was1 given by Mrs. V. Arm
strong and Mrs. C. Harris. Mrs.
W. Murdoch, of Hamilton, then
sang very beautifully “In Secret
I Pray”. Mrs. J. Hodgert and
her group gave a most helpful
and interesting play entitled
“Crusaders for " Membership”.
Mesdames Kyle, Stone, Pybus,
Cook, Armstrong, King, Squire,

Findings: The saving of food
amounted to; peas .04; beans .02;
corn .12 tomatoes .22; rasp

I find by this chart that it is
most profitable- to preserve straw
berry jam and I am sure every
one will agree that it is always
enjoyed by the family. The total
savings of my canning was $2.92.
For our family we generally can
between 20-3 0 quarts of each
variety. Therefore, our saving is
approximately $52.25. The
variety of food that we have
canned is superioi’ to that of
store foods.
