Home Demonstration Notes
Misii Florence Atwood
Home Demonstration Agent
In canning soft fruits, such as
strawberries or sweet cherries, by
the cold pack process, the fruit
should not be blanched or cold-dipped.
Stem or seed them as the
case requires, and pack them imme
diately in the containers. Then fill
with boiling thin syrup, and screw
covers on lightly. Sterilize 1C min
utes in hot water bath, tighten cov
ers, invert containers to cool and
test for leakage, wrap in paper and
store in a cool place.
Rhubaib is one of the first fruits
which we have access to in the
spring. Rhubarb can be dried so
that it can bo used in the winter
months. It can also be used to make
jelly, conserves or '"armalade. The
extract of rhubarb does not make a
perfect jelly when used alone but
can lie combined with the pectin se
cured from orange rind which will
resulb'in a verynic&ijellyrv
Orange and Rhubarb Marmalade
Remove peel in quarters from 8
oranges. Cook peel until soft, in
enough boiling water to cover; drain
remove white part from peel by
scraping it with a spoon. Cut thin
yellow in strips. Divide oranges in
sections, remove seeds and tough part
of skin. Put in a preserving kettle,
add five pounds of rhubarb, skinned
and cut in one-half' inch pieces. Heat
to boiling point and boil one-half
hour; then add four pounds of sugar
and the cut orange rinu. Cook slow
ly two hours. Turn into glasses.
Rhubarb Conserw
3 cups rhubarb (dried).
1 cup raisins.
5 cups sugar.
" cup nut meats.
1 orange (grated rind and juice).
Soak rhubarb in 7 cups water 6to
8 hours and c6ok in water in which
soaked until tender. Add sugar,
raisins and oranges. Put through a
food chopper and cook slowly for 30
minutes. Add nuts, chopped, just
before removing from fire. Put in
glasses and cover with parafin.
The juice can bo extracted from
the dried product and used in mince
meat, which gives it a delicious fla
vor. The extract also makes a de
lightful basis for fruit punches. The
juice may be added to mulberries
which will give them the flavor that
is needed. Cherries may also lie ad
ded to mulberries to add flavor.
