Applications must be sent in 'to your Local Ration Board by April 15th. Use the application in your new Ration Book for this purpose. Canning sugar will be allowed for all fresh fruits, including citron and wild fruits. Marrow, tomatoes and pumpkins are considered as vegetables and no canning sugar will be allowed for them. E • urr THe.°AmouNir OF st49,A;R;;NEID CANNING AllOw 1/2 lb. of sugar for each quart sedgy. Estimate the TOTAL number of quart settlers you plan 'to put up —then use the quick, practical method of allowing 1/2 lb. of sugar for each quart sealer. Don't try and decide exactly the num- ber of each kind of fruit you ,plan to put up. Some fruits may be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates on the number of sealers you have on hand, what you put up last year, or what you, think your needs will be this year. Your completed ap. plication must be sent to your Local Ration Board by JAM or JELLY MAKING Allow Ph lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. Most people use jars of various shapes and sizes. Take a num- ber of the jars you usually use and see •how many cupfuls of water they hold. Four (4) cups make a quart. In this way you will be able to estimate the number of quarts of jam or jelly your jars will hold, Then -allow 11/2, lbs. of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for 8 quarts of jam or jelly, you will require 12 lbs. of sugar.. Estimates based on these methods are within the canning sugar ration, and the amounts are satisfactory for wartime canning arid .jam and jelly making, as proven by test in the Dominion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchens.
