For Busy Couriers
Sweet Sour Cherries, Berries
Among Fruits Frozen, Canned
By MAXINE BL'REN
Statesman Woman's Editor
Canning miscellany:
There's so much going on in a canning way, that we'd better
cover quite a bit of territory today for the information of our
constituents.
Strawberries are getting along, and those who plan to freeze
them will find that approximately cup per quart is the right
amount of sweetness. Cut the berries at least once, toss gently
with sugar and pack. Freeze immediately.
FREEZE SOUR CHERRIES
Cherries may be frozen. A syrup pack is best for sour cher
ries when to be eaten uncooked, sugar pack when to be used for
pies or puddings. For syrup, use 7 to 8 cups sugar per quart of
water, cook and cool before using. Leave head space in contain
ers. For sugar pack, use 1 quart (IV3 pounds) to cup sugar,
mix and pack. Leave head space.
Sweet cherries may be packed whole or seeded. Red varie
ties are best for freezing. Pack directly into containers, cover with
cold syrup, 3 cups sugar to 4 cups water and Ja teaspoon ascorbic
acid to a quart. Leave head space.
Ascorbic acid keeps fruit from discoloration.
We like to freeze a few cherries with stems on and pits in,
and eat them while still frosty.
ABOUT MARASCHINOS
Those who wish to make maraschino cherries should merely
wash them free of spray and, leaving pits in and stems on, com
pletely cover with brine which may be purchased inexpensively
at some canneries or made thus:
1 gallon water Vi ounce calcium carbonate
16 ounce citric acid 3 ounces sodium-acid sulfite
Stir together in a non-metallic container with wooden spoon
or paddle until sodium-acid sulfite and citric acid are dissolved
and as much of the calcium carbonate as possible. Materials are
usually to be purchased at drugstore. Do not confuse the sodium
acid sulfite with sodium sulfite.
The cherries remain in this brine for from two weeks to two
years. This bleaches and hardens them. The next step in prepara
tion of maraschinos comes later, when they are freshened and
put into syrup, but we will not publish it now, because if we do,
those doing cherries later will have lost it long since. As happens
every year, we will have to repeat the long recipe. Watch for it
in a week or so; your cherries, in the meantime, are to be stand
ing in the brine.
Whole gooseberries may be frozen with or without sweeten
ing. We prefer the dry freezing because it's so easy. Merely stem,
wash, drain and put into containers. If using a syrup, use 4 cups
sugar to 4 cups water and cool after boiling.
Here's an extra good jam we've published many times, but
which is worth another story:
STRAWBERRY-GOOSEBERRY JAM
1 pound strawberries lVi pounds gooseberries
2 pounds sugar
Slice strawberries, cover with sugar and let stand an hour.
Add gooseberries and cook until the jam jells, when tried in a
cold saucer.
