Sun-Cooked Strawberry Preserve.
Uee fresh firm berrtea. Clean and
tern fmlt. For each pound of atraw-
fcerrtes use 1 pound augar. Bring to
boil and boll for 10 mlnutea. Four

day or two, or until berries are
plump and syrup thickens. Pour Into
cold sterilized Jars and cover with
Jam.
4 quarts strawberries
9 pounds sugar
to 3 tablespoons lemon Jules.
Wash berries thoroughly, drain, cap.
and pick out the largest. Take about
1 quart of the smaller fruit, crush It
and add ths sugar. Cook rapidly In
an enameled saucepan and stir until
the sugar Is dissolved and thick syrup
is formed. Add the remainder of the
fruit and continue the rapid cooking.
Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
An asbestos mat should be placed
under the pan as a precaution. Cook
from 45 minutes to an hour, until
fa!rly thick, then add lemon Juice.
The Jam should then have a brilliant
red color and some of the fresh fruit
flavor. The Jam thickens when cold
and should not be cooked down too
much. Place In sterilized Jars, seal
and store.

Qyf iito mettle.
Electrio oven canning is simplicity itself. Exact temperatures, automatically
controlled, take the guesswork and uncertainty out of food preservation.
Just place the food in the jars cold; put them in the oven, set the tem
perature control and leave them the proper length of time. It is just as
easy as that. There is no guesswork, consequently no food loss or failures.

FOR ALWAYS USING
CERTO
Hundreds of women rush to local stores
to get their Certo and berries . . . many
planning to put up extra batches this year
If you and your family like Strawberry Jam (and
what sensible family doesn't?) your DAY has
come at last! For the markets are filled with lus
cious ripe strawberries.
With Certo and the Certo recipes you can put
up double the amount of jam in the usual time,
too. Certo, you see, cuts your boiling time for
Strawberry Jam to one minute. Hence you can
make a complete batch in 12 minutes or less from
the time the fruit is prepared.
And Certo will give you better tasting jam or
jelly. All the fresh fruit flavor will be kept intact;
And because no fruit juice has time to boil away,
you'll get as much as one-half again more glasses
from the same amount of fruit.
So get your strawberries. And get two bottles of
Certo, too. That's enough to make up 40 glasses
of the finest tasting Strawberry Jam you can put
on your table. Certo is a product of General Foods.
Get it at your grocer's.
NOTE : With Certo you can also mate jelly
Jrom strawberries. Certo, you see, provides the
jellying power which strawberries themselves lack.
