PEACHES
Befoio preparing fruit make sirup
(three pounds nine ounces sugar to
one gallon of water or Ave pounds,
eight ounces sugar to one gallon of
water), allowing about one cupful of
water for each quart Jar. Put In one
cracked peach pit for every quart of
glrup. Boll sirup for five minutes.
Strained honey or other sirups can be
used tn place of a part of the sirup
usually required.
Sort the fruits, using firm, sound,
uniform peaches for canning and put
ting aside the soft broken ones for
jam. Peeling may be done by Im
mersing In boiling water about one
minute or until skint slip easily. Re
move, plunge for a minute Into cold
water, and slip off the skins. Cut Into
halves and pack at once In previously
boiled Jars, placing the halves In over
lapping layers, the concave surface of
ench half being downward and the
blossom end facing the glass. Fill each
Jar with hot sirup and paddle careful
ly to remove air bubbles. Partially
seal Jars. Boll (process) quart Jars In
a water bath for 20 mlnntes and half
gallons 85 minutes. When thoroughly
cold test Jars for leaks. Store In a
cool, dark, dry place.
Firm, perfect peaches may be floated
In boiling water for about 20 seconds
after being peeled. They are then cut
In halves, seeds removed, and packed
as Indicated above. Peaches floated In
this manner are made more flexible
and pack to better advantage. They
also become mellow, absorb more
sirup and are finer In flavor. United
