Preserving the
fruits of harvest But unless you pre very generous with
your many friends,/you will have to do some
preserving to keep up with the output of your
garden. Turn the surplus into a few jars of
homemade pickles to add a personal touch to
special meals during the year.
In 1965, new -style pickles are the craze.
Gardening is still popular despite an
increasingly hurried lifestyle. Whether it be
a large or small garden, a municipal plot, or
a few pots on a downtown balcony, amateur
gardeners demonstrate their talent and
preferences with the hope of a bountiful
harvest in August and September.
i
They are made using unusual fruits and
vegetables or traditional produce prepared
in novel ways.
Sterilize canning or commercial jars in the
oven (10 minutes at 100 degrees C.,), in
boiling water (15 minutes) or in the
dishwasher. Fill the hot sterilized jars with
the pickle mixture and carefully put the
sterilized lids on the jars. Thick products
such as relishes may be sealed with paraffin
to prevent discoloration. Processing in
boiling water is not required because the
pickles tested at Agriculture Canada have
the correct balance of ingredients to prevent
the growth of microorganisms.

Morrison Dam Conservation Area, construc-
tion and installation of footbridges on trails at
