The Brussels Post, 1943-3-24, Page 4THE BRUSSELS POST HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR APPLICATION FOR CANNING SUGAR • This ,year housewives must estimate in advance the amount of sugar required for canning and jam -making, so that arrangements may be made to provide and distribute the necessary supplies. Applications most 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 aaci pumpkins are considered as vegetables and no canning sugar will be allowed for them. CANNING Allow ? 1b. of sugar /or each quart sealer. E imati' the T(YTAL number of quart sealers you plan to put up --then use the quick, practical inelho:1 of allowing ?g lb. of sugar for each quart .sealer. Don't try. and decide exactly the num- ber of eaw1i kind of fruit you • plan to put up. S0111c fruits may ' be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates on the _number of sealers you have oil hand, what you put up last year, . or what you think your needs Will be this year. Yoor completed np- plieatiort muse be sent to your Lona/ Ration Board by JAM or JELLY MAKING Anon, Il/s lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. Most people use jars of various shapes and sizes. Take 0 nuul- 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 13/% lbs, of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for S 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 and jun and jelly making, as proven by test in the-Dotninion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchens. oali w�;,�a\':..e+'•"��ONN SSR psi<P� 0.5, \N...

She allows one-half pound of sugar for each quart, and therefore will need 20 pounds of sugar for canning. She decides that she will put up 6 quarts of jam and jelly. She allows 11,4 pounds of sugar for each (mart of jam, and therefore will need 9 pounds of sugar for jam and jelly making, She adds the two amounts of sugar together (20 -f- 9) and writes the total (29 pounds) on her application, together with the number of persons she intends to feed ba her awn household. To her own fully completed applieation form she attaches the application forms of the other persons in her household she is planning to feed. Only the in- dividual serial numbers need be given on these accompanying application forms. IMPORTANT NOTE The Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends canning fruit in preference to making jam or ,jelly because: kiore fruit can be put up with less sugar and at less cost. Canned fruit retains more of the vitamin value of the fresh fruit. • WHEN AND HOW CANNING SUGAR WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE When your Local Ration Board has re- viewed your application yoll will be pro- vided, sometime before June 1st, with special canning sugar coupons. These cou- pons will entitle you to buy sugar, at any grocery store, at speeificd intervals. You do 1101 have to buy all your sugar at once.
