Here this week—but gone next week! That's the story of many of our perishable fruits, unless we ran do something about saving some for future use. Home canning now means better meals and better health next winter. .Canning in airtight jars or cans is the most widely used method for pre- serving fruits and vegetables. Suc- cess in canning is the result of abiding by up-to-date instructions. Good can- ning principles are: 1. Can only fresh food, in perfect condition. 2. Have food, jars, everything used for canning thoroughly clean. 4. Work quickly, so as to can `freshness.' 4. Follow up-to-date instructions and time tables, 5. Make sure jars are airtight to keep out air which causes growth of moulds. 6. For water-bath canning have the water hot in the processor when you put the jars in. Count the time from the minute the water begins to boil, The water should be two inches above the top; add hot water if it boils away. Keep a cover on the wash boiler or pro- cessor. 7. Heat food hot enough and long enough to kill harmful bacteria which often causes spoilage. S.' Complete the seal of a screw top jar by pressing on the glass top while you tighten the metal ring, 9. Cool jars right end up but do not place In a draught, 10, Label and store in a cool, dark place, The. Sugar Solution We have co-ordinated our results with those from the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. One interesting table shows the approximate number of quarts of canned fruits from ten pounds of sugar: Very thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 3 cups water) yields approximately three and one-half cups. Using one cup of syrup for each quart jar of small or sliced fruit will can about sixty-five quarts. Thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 2 cups water) yields approximately two and one-half cups. Using one cup syrup for each quart jar of small or sliced fruit will can about forty- five jars. Moderately thin syrup (1 cup sugar to one and one-half cups water) yields approximately two cups of liquid. One cup of syrup fills forty quarts small or sliced fruit or twenty-seven quarts of large or whole fruit such as strawberries and peaches. Medium syrup (one cup sugar to one cup of water) yields approximately one and one-half cups. One cup medium syrup fills thirty quarts of small fruit or twenty quarts large fruit. This is suggested for canning sour cherries and plums. Berries and Currants: (Raspberries, blueberries, huckle- berries, loganberries, thimbleberries, saskatoons, red and black currants). Pick over and clean (wash if neces- sary.) Cover with boiling syrup. Process pint jars 15 minutes, quart jars 20 minutes in water-bath. Pro- cess tin cans (20 oz.) in water-bath. Only pre-war pint 'jars may be pro- cessed in preheated electric oven at 275° for 25 minutes. Cherries: 'Wash, stem, pit if desired, Pack in sterilized jars, Cover with boiling water, Process pint jars 20 minutes and quart jars 25 minutes in water- bath, Process tin cans (20 ozs) in water-bath only 20 mins, 11181.11101111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111h, Listen To "SUCCESS" SELO POLISHING LIQUID WAX AND PASTE FLOOR WAX on every vidDAY morning at 10.15 37 prizes awarded each broadcast From CICNX Wingham 020 On Your Dial cor sale at Grocery and Hardware Stores.

Weekly Consumer Branch item: Some Canadian mothers are finding that the 30 fluid ounces of corn syrup which they can get each month with their baby's -preserves coupons is• not enough for the baby's diet needs. The answer is that mothers can exchange the baby's sugar coupons at the local Ration Board ,receiving two preserves coupons for every sugar coupon. GARDEN-GRAPH Canning Without Sugar Sugar does not affect the .keeping quality of canned fruit, However, colour and shape of some fruits are retained better when some is added, Berries, cherries, rhubarb and juicy plums may be canned without sugar by the following method; Wash and crush part of clean fruit in bottom of preserving kettle, Add a little water (about 1 cup for 4 quarts) to prevent scorching. Add remaining prepared fruit. Cook until juices begin to drain out (about 2. mins. boil), Pack into jars and gently press fruit to make juice come, to the top of jar. Process in water-bath 30 mins. * * * Take a Tip Cooling home canned food is im- portant. 1. Cool sealers in an upright position, 2. Leave space •between sealers while cooling. 3. Place sealers on folded newspaper out of draught and do not cover, 4. Plunge tin cans into cold water and change the water once of twice so that they will cool rapidly, * * * The Question Box Mrs. D. M. suggests: Raspberries stored raw have kept successfully by the following method: Select firm, clean berries. Pack into sterilized jars gently. Cover with boiling syrup.. Put on a hot rubber ring and adjust the tops. Seal tightly. Place in a tub in which a towel has been folded in the bottom. Pour boiling water down the inside, enough to cover 3 inches over the top. Put a lid on the utensil and cover with several heavy towels. Leave in water bath over night. Answer: We have found this method successful for raspberries and rhubarb. A cool, dark storage place is essential however. • * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her cfo The Advance-Times. Send in your suggestions on homemaking problems and watch this column for replies.
