Preservation of Fruits

Sugar is scarce-so scarce in fact that it is no longer possible to buy the larger amount for canning, that was allowed earlier this year.

Fruits are so necessary to health that it would be a great mistake to go without them entirely, because of the lack of sugar. They should be canned without sugar rather than not be canned at all.

Meet this situation by canning fruits and fruit juices without sugar. This may be successfully done by the "cold pack method." They will keep as well, if not better. They may be made up in sauces, jellies or syrups, as they are needed.

Limit the amount of jellies and preserves you use.

In making these, substitute corn syrup for a part of the sugar. (See directions below.)
