Berries, Currants, and Small Fruits

Berries and small fruits should be handled in small quantities to avoid crushing. If necessary to wash these foods, do this before removing stems or hulls. Put a small portion of berries in a colander, pour over a little cold water, turn them into another colander and again pour on cold water, then drain and remove stems and hulls. Whenever practicable currants should be made into jelly without washing; also pick this fruit before rather than just after rain.
