it toughens the fruit.
Preserves require strict atten
tion while they are cooking. They
must be stirred enough to pre
vent them from burning and they
must not be overcooked. Over
cooking often carmelizes the su
gar and causes undesirable flavor
amd color changes in the fruit
When the fruit has cooked suf
ficiently, put it into sterilized
glass jars. Fill the jars 3 4 full of
the cooked fruit them add enough
of the sirup to completely fill the
jar. Seal while hot.
Those are the genaral direc
tions wich apply to ail fruits. But
some fruits require special me-!
thods of handling. The quince, i
for insrtance, is exceptionally
firm. In the past cooks ha-ve sub-,
jected this fruit to steaming or
parboiling before they preserve
it. Naturally in this precooking
much of the natural flavor of the,
fruit leaches out.
Scientists experimenting with
making cjuinca preserves have
found a way to soften the fruit
and still keep most of its natural
flavor. They put the pieces of
quince into the s:r..p at 1 . first
of ng Bui
this sirup u .■try th.n
As the - irup gradua’ly . rck
er.s the quin tvs become softer, the
natural juices of the fruit go .r.to
the sirup, ar.d none of the flavor
is lost down the drain with water
used in precooking.
In making quince preserves,
allow the fruit to ripen until it
is yellow. Wash the fruit, pare,
cut into quarters and core. To
each pound of prepared fruit use
1 and "i cups of water and
"i pound of sugar. Dissolve the
sugar in the water and boil for
5 minutes.
Add the fruit and boil slowly
for 1 to 1% hours. Stir occasion
ally to prevent burning. As soon
as the fruit becomes tender and
of a clear reddish color and the
|sirup reaches the jelly stage,
pour into hot sterilized jars and
seal.
About the nearest to the impos
sible feat of “making something
tom nothing” is the manufac
ture of preserves from watermel
on rind. No matter how generous
I is the family appropriation for
food there is still a thrill out of
making an edible product out of
what otherwise would be thrown
i away.
When you make your supply of
j preserves be sure to anticipate
ell the uses to which they can be
