How jever, if it ia not convenient to do i preserving at home, there is always la delicious variety offered in gro- eery stores everywhere. I .Tellies, jams and canned fruits, i whether put up at home or pur chased, should be included in the (diet. Thir flavor appeals to the iapnetite and their fruit content is ! healthful. Aside from eating jelly or jam with bread or toast, they are a de 1 licious accompaniment for roast j meats. And a spoonful u?ed to top rice or hread puddings makes these nourishing desserts more taste-appealing. Of course, canned fruits by themselves, are a most appro priate dessert for young and old. i As sugar plays an important part in preserving, ro can it be equally essential in the preparation of ' very-day meals. Sugar when usd in season canned or fresh vege tables improves their flavor, there by making them more enjoyable to 1 :he taste. Doctors and dietitians tpprov this use of sugar as a lavor.
