Mm. Johnson is ihown preparing sourdough for the fragrant
breads and pastries she made during the demonstration.
Sourdough
making big
All over the country the
interest in sourdough bilking
is making a comeback.
Whether the interest is
spurred by the mystery of
sourdough, the history, the
flavor or the simple satisfac
tion of the process, the interest
in sourdough baking by both
men and women was apparent
at the sourdough program
sponsored recently by the
Morrow County Extension
Service,
Guest "sourdough" artists
who shared secrets of creative
sourdough cookery were Flora
Johnson, Condon, and Linda
I-ultuc, lone.
Ms Johnson, who claims to
tie a "(lump and look" cook,
entertained the gathered
group with bits of sourdough
history, lore and personal
experiences as she prepared
fragrant breads and sweet
rolls.
Hiseuits high, and light
enough to float off the plate,
and crepe like applesauce and
strawberry pancakes were the

baking is
comeback
farm near Condon. She claims
she finds little difference In
the varieties of wheat they
have grown and ground and
has no difficulty storing the
grains after they are ground.
After grinding she sifts the
coarsely ground grains, sep
arating the finely ground
"flour" from the coarser
grains for use In different
products. For demonstration
Ms. Johnson used an antique
hand grinder which she in
herited from her mother-in-law.
For larger quantities
they use a small mechanical
grinder.
Samples of sourdough prod
ucts were available for tasting
including Ms. Johnson's choc
olate, banana nut, and whole
wheat breads, whole wheat
crackers. White bread, sweet
coffee cake, and cinnamon
twists. Mrs. laKue's biscuits,
applesauce and strawberry
pancake rolls, Ms. Tullis's
sourdough chocolate and
applesauce cakes, and Jeanne
Howell's pumpernickel rye
sourdough bread
Sourdough starter typically
results in crusty loaves of
tangy bread but it can be used
w ith great success in sweeten
ed baked goods. Although the
sourdough flavor is not always
readily distinguishable, the
starter mixture adds moist
ness, leavening, and a distinc
tively different flavor to
products Starter may be
stored in almost any glass
container. no metal!) but
stores in Heppner are report
ing a big run on old fashioned
crocks as the word is getting
around about sourdough.
A few copies of recipes and
uilormalion provided at the
sourdough program are still
available at the Morrow
County Extension Olfice.

season draws near
Forecasts are that more
homemakers will be "putting
foods by" this year than ever
before.
Homemakers preparing for
the canning .season ahead
should be checking their
equipment, especially presure
cookers. Gauges on pressure
cookers should be checked
yearly, prior to the canning
season. Companies supplying
canning lids promise a more
adequate supply for north
western states this year, but
homemakers planning to can
should be watchful for them to
arrive in stores.
Success In home canning
depends un the proper
canning procedures. When
you're not sure of proper
canning techniques, be sure to
get the information you need
before you start canning,
advises Nellie Ochler, Oregon
Slate Extension Foods and
Nutrition Specialist. If you've
had canning problems in the
past, perhaps the methods you
used or the length of time you
processi-d foods were at fault.
Always use the pressure
canner to process low-acid
foods such as vegetables and
meat for safety's sake, Ms.
Ochler emphasizes. No matter
how long meat or vegetables
are processed in a boiling
water bath, they are not safe.
There is danger of botulism
caused by bacteria often
present on such fresh vege
tables as peas, string beans,
corn and spinach. These
bacteria are destroyed only by
the higher temperatures of a
pressure cooker.
The hot water bath method
of canning on the other hand,
is recommended for fruits,
fruit juices and for tomatoes,
since the taller is an acid
vegetable. However, 2 teas
ptions of lemon juice must be
added to a quart of tomatoes
before canning.
In hot water bath canning
and pressure canning it is
important to follow an accu
rate timetable for processing
Reliable timetables and other
essential information on tech
niques for canning fruits and
vegetables are given in USDA
bulletins "Hume Canning
Fruits and vegetables," which
is available at no charge at the
Morrow County Extension
Office, Heppner
Open kettle canning, except
for jams and jellies, is
definitely not recommended
In open kettle canning the food
is cooked in an ordinary
kettle, then packed into hot
jars and sealed without

Pioneer gravesrte
locations wanted
I larold Beckel . Bryce Keene
and Rachel Harnett have been
designated as a committee to
search out information about
pioneer burials. They hope to
learn about many burials that
took place outside the county's
designated cemeteries.
Some graves are on old
ranch sites, some are along
the early trails and roads.
Many graves in the regular
cemeteries are not marked or
the early markers have be
come difficult to read. Others
are outside the county.
This committee of the Coun
ty llislorial Society hopes
families will bring them facts
alKiut the deaths and burials of
pioneer ancestors If possible
some of the information can
lie brought lo this Sunday's
Pioneer Picnic, or it may be
given to Mrs. Harnett at the
