Boil for just 2 minutes, counting the entire contents of the ling. Now take them off when the boiling has stopped, add 2 more cups of sugar. Return to the fire and boil 5 minutes longer, again counting the time after the contents of the pan are bubbling. Turn them into a shallow pan so that the berries stand not over one inch deep.

They are rich and luscious, the ber­ ries stay plump, the preserves keep well and keep their color also. Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve 8 cups strawberries 8 cups rhubarb 12 cups sugar Method: Wash and stem the berries and measure them heaped up in the cup, for otherwise, if they are very large, you won’t get many in 8 cups. Cut the rhubarb into V2 inch lengths and measure it the same way. Place both fruits in a preserving kettle and sprinkle the sugar over them.* Let stand for an hour or so to start the juice flowing, then heat slowly to the boiling point and cook until the con­ serve is thick and clear. Turn into hot, sterile jars and seal immediately. While you can seal most conserves in glasses with paraffin, I find that those containing rhubarb k'eep better if they are actually sealed. Strawberry Pie Medium-sized uncooked pie shell pint box strawberries cup sifted bread crumbs egg yolks cup sugar egg whites cup icing sugar Sprinkle bottom of pie shell sifted bread crumbs (to absorb the ex­ cess juice). Fill shell with berries which have been washed, hulled- and drained. Beat egg yolks thoroughly and add the %-cup sugar, Cover ber­ ries with this mixture and bake in hot oven 375 to 400 degrees F. for about 15 minutes. Then reduce temperature to 325 and bake foi' 30 minutes longer or until firm. Cool thoroughly and, before serving, cover with a meringue made from egg whites and the % cup icing sugar. Sprinkle with coconut and brown slightly in a slow oven. Serves six people. Pie cups sifted Vs teaspoon salt, Work the lard into the flour very quickly and lightly, add the water by sprinkling a small portion over the surface of the flour and lard mixture. Roll very thin. Canning of Strawberries Oven Canning. Wash strawberries and hull them. Sprinkle them plenti­ fully with sugar and leave them stand­ ing 2 hours. Make syrup of 1 cup sug­ ar to 1% cups water and bring it to a boil. Add berries and boil 5 minutes Remove berries from syrup. Add juice which collected in the pan in which the berries stood in sugar to the syrup in the kettle. Boil briskly 5 minutes. Put berries in sterilized jars and pour syrup over ’‘them to within 1A6 inch of tops. Screw tops on, not too tight­ ly, and place in oven for 68 minutes, at 225 to 250 degrees F. Fill jars to top with remaining syrup and screw lids on tight. The berries will be whole and will retain their natural color and flavor.

Cook rapidly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick. Add the re­ maining berries and cook as quickly as possible until, the mixture is thick and clear, then add the lemon juice. Stir frequently, as it scorches easily. Do not overcook, as long cooking' produces a jam that is dark colored! and strong flavored. Twenty minutes should be sufficient; thirty minutes at the most. Turn into hot, sterile jars and adjust rubbers and caps., .and seal iimmediately.
