HO’" TO ■"RHVHNT cT-1 BY SPOILAGE.
By Lydia Fohn-Hanson • .
"■hat a .disapptfintWettt to ‘find jars that
were' filled with utmost-care, fizzing and
spoiling after n. .flaw .weeks s4*rage— a
waste 'Of food, tino.and.energy. - loss
thajt just must not happen with the present
world-shortage.9? food.^
Injfruits 'the spoilage may be nothing more
than fermentation and the product '-can be
reheated, driving’off the’alcohol. In
vegetables the product should be.burned.
To nrevent such spoilage jars and utensil;
must be clean and seals perfect. To
sterilize a jar, it must be heated long
enough or hot enough or treated'with
chemicals to ki-ll all- organisms. The pro
cess depends on- method of calming. By
iy method the first step.is to wash the
jar well in soapy water.. The soap ifi"a - /
good germicide.-. .To make the washing easy,
jars should be stored perfectly clean in
dust free boxes or paper.bags. Jars that
have held spoiled food should be sterilize
with special care as soon as they are crap
tied. ..
J'-rs to be used in pressure cooker or hot
water bath need not be sterilized before
filling as the processing will sterilize
the jar as well as the food. Simply re
move from the soapy water, rinse in clear
hot water ‘nd keep them hot until ready
to fill. A good place is in the'steamer
or in the. oven in a pan' of water.
Jars, bottles or jelly -lasses must be
sterile when filled with juices, jams,
relish, preserves, conserve,"pickle or
fruit. Also the li^s, rings, spoons,
funnel and everything that comes in con
tact with the food must be sterile, Yash
■jars in soapy r ter, rinse and boil in
T7"ter to cover, ten mihutes or in live
steam 20 minutes. Self-sealing lids
should be dipped into boiling water just
before sealing. Keep everything sterile
ad hot in deep-well cooker, oven or
earner or in'the boiling water until
aady to fill.
Because of the possibility of dust parti
cles falling" into the jers'as they are
being filled, mold's may develop; hence it
is advisable to process the filled jars
five minutes in boiling water bath*- The
largest percent of spoilage occurs with
fruits which are put'into seemingly ster
ilized jars and" stored without the added
protection of processing against mold.
-11 commercial jars, pickles, etc., arc :
given the extra processing in the bottle.
