If you lt Department of Agriculture Bom of the tame queitlon that viae in cooking of fresh vegeUblea and frulU come up also In canning o there are two reasons for dU eusslng them Just now. Some ways of cooking save food values, and oth ers waste the minerals and vitamins, of which most vegetable and fruits are a very Important source. Tou lose mineral value when you cook vegetables In too much water and drain off the liquid after cooking. Calcium, which U one of the bone-making minerals, and Iron, which is a blood builder, are dis solved In this way and a consider able percentage Is lost. Bo with other mineral salts found In fresh vege tables. To avoid this loss as far as possible, cook your vegetables In very little water and serve the liquid with them in the form of a sauce gravy. In canning, hot-pack your vege tables and most of your fruits, and fill up the cans with the liquid In which you pre-cooked them. And when you serve the canned food, serve Juice and all. When It comes to saving vitamins, the cooking problem Is a different one. and so Is the canning problem. In fact, It is different for dlferent vitamins. We look to vegetables and fruits for a good part of our supply of vita mins. Vitamin A, as It happens, Is not much affected by the cooking process. But both vitamin B and vitamin C are affected by heat, and by oxidation. Destruction of vita min B takes place more rapidly where there Is both heat and water, as In cooking. To save this vitamin, short, quick cooking, at the boiling point or Just below. Is best. Vitamin O, however, Is more trou blesome. It la very easily destroyed by heat and oxidation. That Is why nutritionists tell us to make sure of this vitamin by eating some vego tables raw. But for the time of year when fresh fruits and vegetables are out of season, we must use canned ones, and It Is Important to know how to conserve the vitamins In canning. Right here we get a lucky "break," so to speak, because toma toes, the best of all vegetables for vitamin C, will provide It whether raw or cooked or canned. Tomatoes, unlike the non-acid vegetables, do not lose much of their vitamin O when cooked or canned. Their acid ity protects the vitamin O content. But again there Is a "how" to It with tomatoes as well as everything else. To save vitamin O as well as vitamin B, cook as short a time as possible, at the boiling point or Just below. As to canning, hero are two points that are emphasised by the Bureau of Home Economics: First: Can fruits and vegetables lis soon as poalble after you bring them stand around even In a refriger ator, they lose some of their vitamin value. Second: Use the hot-pack method, and work fast. The short p re-cook before you put tlw food In the cans drives the air out of the tissues. This helps save food values because air has a bad effect on vitamins. Also, the hot-pack makes it possible to shorten the time the food has to stay In the water bath or the steam pressure canner for processing. Fruits and tomatoes are the foods easiest to can at home, and they are also better sources of vitamin O than the non-acid vegetables. They are easy to can because they may be safely processed (1. e., heated In the cans to kill the bacteria that cause spoilage) either In a boiling water math or in the oven. The non-aold vegetables, such as corn, peas, beans, and In fact all the others except to matoes, should to be safe they must be processed In a steam -pressure cooker, according to the Bureau of Home Economics, because for non acid foods theer Is no other way you can be sure of temperatures high enough to kill the bacteria. Following are directions for can ning peaches and plums by methods recommended by the Bureau of Home Economics. Directions for othr fruits and vegetables will be furnished on request to the bureau. Peaches. Make a thin or medium syrup as desired. Put in one cracked peach pit for every quart of syrup. Boll for five minutes and strain. Immerse the peaches In boiling water for about one minute or until the skint will slip easily, plunge at once Into cold water for a few sec onds; remove the skins, cut the peaches Into halves, and discard the pits. Some varieties of firm cling stone peaches require the lye solution method for peeling. Peaches may be packed raw, but a better pack Is ob tained If the fruit Is first simmered four to eight minutes. Do not cook until soft. Pack at once, placing the halves pit side down In overlapping layers. Fill up the containers with hot syrup. Process all containers for IS minutes In boiling water. Plums. Plums are ordinarily can ned whoie, and they should be gath ered Just as they are commencing to ripen. After they are washed prick each plum to prevent the skin from bursting. Fill Into Jars and cover with boiling medium syrup. Process quart and pint glass Jars or 2 min utes In boiling ater and No. 3 and No. 3 sanitary or R enameled tin cans for IB minutes. Or, If preferred, prepare sauce by cooking the plums with sugar to taste until the sugar has dissolved. The pits and skins may be strained out or not as desired. Fill the containers boiling hot, and process all sizes for five minutes In- boiling water. i Meteorological Report July tO, 1934. Forecasts. Medford and vicinity: Fair tonight and Saturday.
