CANNING AND PRESERVING Every good cook should know how to preserve fruit so that she may take advantage of the bounteous supply of garden and orchard to store food for use later on when certain fruits are out of season. There is nothing diffi­ cult about preserving except that each step should be followed carefully and strict attention paid to the sterilizing and sealing of jars. There are two methods of canning which may be used for any fruit al­ though some varieties give better re­ sults by one particular method. For small soft fruits, the water bath me­ thod is superior, while a great many people like to use the open-kettle me­ thod for the larger fruits. The hot-pack method is excellent for soft fruits that break easily under cooking. This method enables the cook to pack her jars attractively and produce well-flavored and whole can­ ned, fruit. The hot-water bath consists of any container that can be equipped with Women’s Missionary Society The July meeting of the W. M. S. was held in the school room of the United Church , on Thursday after­ noon of last week? Quiet music by 'Mrs. A. Meahen opened the meeting at which Mrs. A. j.

Hushed to a hospital, he was dead on arrival. Raspberry Jam Pick over berries (do not wash), and add warmed sugar in cup for cup measurement. Stir well with spoon, bring to boil, stirring constantly to keep from burning. Slice orange in very thin 'slices and add to boiling fruit. Cook mixture 20 minutes, re­ move from fire, allow to stand for a few moments, remove film and pour into glasses. Raspberry Vinegar To four quarts of red raspberries, put enough vinegar to cover, and let them stand twenty-four hours; scald and strain it; add a pound of sugar to one pint of juice; boil it 20 min­ utes, and bottle; it is then ready for use and will keep years. To one glass of water add a large spoonful. This makes a tasty drink for the sick'. Red Raspberry and Currant Jam One quart currants, 2 quarts red raspberries, 3 pounds sugar. Wash fruit. Stem currants and cook with enough water to prevent sticking until the fruit looks white- just as if you were making jelly. Cook eight "minutes and turn into sterilized glasses. Cover with paraf­ fin and add a second coating of par­ affin when cold. Apple Marmalade 1 qt. cut up apples, 2 oranges, cut fine, skin and all, 1 qt. water, 5 cups sugar, Yz cup chopped walnuts. Boil till thick. Gooseberry Jelly Cook the berries until tender in water in the proportion of lYz cups to every pound of berries. When the fruit is quite tender and broken, drain off the liquid, and boil with an equal volume of sugar until it jells.* This jelly can be made from either the green or the red gooseberries. The green gooseberry jelly should be light colored and transparent. Golden Marmalade Slice 6 oranges and 3 lemons very fine, discarding seeds. Cover the slic­ ed fruit with water and let stand ov­ ernight. Next morning boil the fruit and water mixture 45 minutes. Let Stand overnight again. In the morn­ ing measure and then bring to a boil. Add V/z times as much sugar as’ fruit. Boil 45 minutes. Just before the marmalade is removed from. the heat add 1 cup of lemon juice. Seal in glasses. The resulting maramalade is tart and distinctive in flavor, but not at all bitter, and the color is clear and goldeh. Red Raspberry Syrup One and one-half cups sugar,% cup berry juice. Put sugar and fruit juice in a sauce pan and stir until dissolved. Put over flames and boil ten minutes. Pour hot over peaches, peeled and. cut in halves with stones removed, packed in hot jars. You can the fruit *just as if it were in a plain syrup—oven, hot water bath or pressure cooker. If you can peaches or pears in grenadine syrup, add one-half cup grenadine to each cup of plain syrup, and color with red food coloring. If a maraschino cherry is placed in the cavity of each half and the cherry side is placed against the glass, a sumptu­ ous effect is grained. Pears are delicious canned either in grenadine syrup or mint syrup. Rhubarb and Fig Marmalade Three pounds rhubarb, 4 pounds sugar, 1 pound figs, Let rhubarb and sugar simmer until dissolved. Wash figs and put through meat-chopper. Add to rhubarb and boil one hour. Watch carefully.
