CLINTON 482-3322 Enjoy fresh produce • in home preserves The delightful flavor and aroma of fresh summer fruits may encourage you to try your hand at preparing some homemade jams and jellies. This is an economical practice if you buy the fruit from a pick -your -own farm or at the public market. More than anything else, making jams and jellies is a very satisfying activity. It takes only a few hours to transform several litres of fresh, tasty fruit into litres of jams and jellies with an aroma and taste that will make all your efforts wor- thwhile. Although the preparation of these treats is relatively easy, it does involve several crucial steps, so it is impor- tant to have a good understanding of what you are doing. After crouching over strawberry plants or raspberry bushes for hours or spending an equal amount of time scouring the market on foot in search of the best buy, you will certainly want to produce products of high quality which will keep until the next berry season. To help amateur jam -makers, the Food Advisory Division of Agriculture (.nada has _ Y developed several methods of preparation which it of- fers, in the form of recipes and advice, in its latest brochure Jams, Jellies and Other Preserves. In it you will also find a guide to purchasing fruit, a brief description ofthe equipment and ingredients needed and a complete ex- planation xplanation of the various methods of testing for doneness. Since to err is human, one section is devoted to the problems which may occur and their solutions. Of course, the publication also contains recipes for pure jams, jellies, mar- malades, fruit conserves, fruit butters and freezer jams, as well as sugarless jams and jellies for those concerned about sugar and energy content. The recipes feature all types of seasonal Canadian fruits and do not contain added commercial pectin. For a free copy of Jams, Jellies and Other Preserves, write to the Communications Branch, Agriculture (nada, Ottawa, K1A OCI and ask for publication No. 1753 E.
