Oregon Fruit Needs Oregon Recipe
Better pick in Oregon recipe
for home grown fruit, ys Mrs.
C. R. (Velma) Mitchell, Lane
extension agent.
Oregon fruit often high in
pectin and acids isn't always
compatible to out-of-state rec
ipes The results may be overly
firm jam and tough jelly.
While it'i possible to "local
ize" recipes written for na
tional audiences it's "easier
'Dear
Abbyf
-Abigail Van Buren-
Mid
DEAR ABBY: Two years ago I visited some friends out of
town. They were invited to a friend's home for dinner and I
went along. The "friend" turned out to be a very handsome
young man who had been in a wheel chair most of his life.
He lives in a five-room home, built especially for him. It was
nicely furnished and spotless. The meal (which he prepared
himself) was out of this world. He keeps house, does his
own laundry and drives a car with hand controls. I liked him
immediately. I saw him many times and it developed into
love. He's asked me to marry him and I want to. As you can
guess, I, have parent trouble. They say it is not "love" but
"pity" I feel for this handicapped man, and if I marry him
I'll be sorry later.
Abby, how can you "pity" a man who can take care of
himself and a home? He has a steady income. We wouldn't
be rich, but we'd get along. He is 29 and I am 27. What do
you think?
IN LOVE
DEAR IN: After a two-year courtship, a 29-year-old man
and a 27-year-old woman should know what they want. We
are all "handicapped" in some way only his shows. If you love
him, marry him.
DEAR ABBY: When my hair was long I had to have it
set at least twice a week. (I work in an office and must look
well-groomed all the time.) One day I had it cut short and
I never had so many compliments in my life.
My husband loves long hair so he had a fit. He told me
to let it grow long and not to cut it again. Short hair is so
much easier to care for and everyone else likes it. Should
I let it grow to please my huband?
TO CUT OR NOT
DEAR TO: It's more Important to please your husband than
everyone else combined. If you're wise, you'll let it grow.
DEAR ABBY: Lately I have noticed that my husband has
started to smile sweetly and makes eyes at waitresses, sales
ladies and even strange women he passes on the boulevard.
They don't even have to be goodlooking just so they're
women. My sister says he should have his head examined.
He is 74 and I am 67. Should I ignore it or what?
"67"
DEAR "67": If your 74-year-old husband's "flirting" is
not conspicuous to others, ignore it. This may be his third
childhood and is quite harmless.
and less time-consuming to fol
low recipes developed at Ore- j
gon Extension Service espec-!
ially for the Oregon product," j
Mrs. Mitchell explains.
For instance, to change a
recipe it's necessary first to
make a small "test" batch. If the
result is too firm, then the rec
ipe can be revised with one
third less pectin.
For high acid berry jams and
jellies, lemon juice or other
acid called for in the recipe
can be omitted. Or the berry jel
ly can be improved with apple
juice substituted for one-half
of the berry juice called for in
the recipe.
"Successful jelly making de
pends on the perfect balance of
pectin, acid, and sugar," Mrs.
Mitchell says. "And even our
Oregon fruit will vary in pectin
content."
For instance, slightly under
ripe fruit contains more pectin
than green fruit that's over-mature.
To capture the flavor of
fully ripened fruit, powdered or
liquid pectin can be used for
quick jelling.
Low acid fruit apricots,
peaches, and plums, can be eas
ily jelled with the addition of
lemon juice or citric acid.
If you're a calorie counter
don't do it at the risk of your
jellies and jams, Mrs. Mitchell
warns. Low calorie sweeteners
should not be substituted for
sugar. Sugar not only "holds in"
the flavor; it's the best preserv
ative. More help on jam and jelly
making is offered in the Exten
sion bulletin, "How To Make
Jellies, Jams, and Preserves at
Home." For your free copy,
