HOME-CANNED BERRIES
TAKE LITTLE SUGAR

Home canned berries play leading roles in the pantry because they
contribute vitamins and minerals for health, can be used in many ways,
and are easy and inexpensive to can.
Blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, raspberries, elderberries
can them all and others, too, with little or no sugar. Sugar gives them
Better flavor and more calories, but f-
has nothing to do with keeping quali
ties. Berries are too precious to waste
and none will be wasted if you will
see to it that every step taken is
the right one. First of all, wash,
rinse and examine your jars. Be
sure to inspect the top edges of
those to be sealed with glass top
seal or two-piece vacuum seal clo
sures because top seals refuse to
work unless tops of the jars are per
fect. Cover jars, glass lids, and
zinc caps with luke-warm water,
heat to boiling and keep hot until
needed. Wash and rinse rubbers
and vacuum seal lids and drop them
in boiling water they don't need
boiling unless you plan to do old
fashioned open kettle canning then
they must be boiled a few minutes to
sterilize.
Every berry must be fresh, sound,
ripe, and firm. Wash them carefully
and then take your choice of can
ning methods.
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service
Director of Ball Brothers Company,
prefers to hot-pack berries. This is
how it is done. Place berries in a
wide, shallow pan; add one-half cup
sugar, or less, for each quart of ber
ries; set the pan over low heat and
simmer until the berries heat
through and the sugar dissolves (re
member you don't have to use any
sugar); pour the hot berries into
clean, hot jars and process five min
utes in hot water-bath canner.

Prairie Fires Give
Irrigon Folks Some
Anxious Moments
By MRS. J. A. SH0X7N

If you prefer cold packing, fill a
jar about half full with raw ber
ries, then tap it gently on a folded
cloth to shake the berries down.
When the jar is filled to within a
half-inch of the top, add enough hot
syrup to cover the berries. Process
20 minutes in a water-bath canner.
Syrup for four quarts of berries
may be made by boiling two cups
sugar and three cups water or berry
juice together until the sugar dis
solves. If you are a little short on
sugar and who isn't these days?
try making the syrup of one meas
ure sugar, one measure corn syrup,
and one-half measure water or berry
juice. This syrup seems rather thick
and sweet, but it will become thin
ner and less sweet after it has been
with the berries a few weeks. And
if .you have no sugar at all, cover
the berries with hot berry juice or
boiling water; seal or partly seal the
jars (follow the manufacturer's in
structions) and process 20 minutes
in a water-bath canner.
If you want your berries to really
star, can them without sugar. Then
they can be used as if they were
fresh from the patch. The juice can
be drained off and used for making
jelly. The berries can go into a pie
or into jam a jam turnover tucked
in a lunch box will make the noon
hour much more pleasant for some
body and surely you need nobody to
tell you that jelly and jam are far
more delicious when freshly made
than at any other time.
