TEN MZDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE fJ3KW-'"'fe, I1IMI j ill n - Thursday, August 22, 1957 MANY USES Bartletts beckon from every fruit salad invit ing us to enjoy them out-of-hand, stewed, baked, fried, pickled; in salads and as dessert; in jams, preserves and in this fresh pear chutney for sharing with fortunate friends and party givers. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Bartlelt Paan Pouring nlo Market Vie know of nothing to com pare with a pear. Pears have been enjoyed since long before Homer grew pears and wrote about them in the garden of Alcinous back about SOO B.C. Of today's more than 3,000 pear varieties, less than a dozen are commercially important. And of these, the Bartlett far out ranks all others. California, Oregon and Wash ington orchards produce about 90 per cent of all pears sold commercially with our own Medford orchards responsible for a large share. The North west grows more than 56 per cent of the canners crop. Plentiful luscious Bartletts are superb eaten out-of-hand. They may be stewed, baked. friend, pickled and glazed. They're good in fresh fruit salads .'with peaches, prunes, melons and grapes or berries. Core them and top with mint ice. Top them, halved and cored of course, with ice cream and pour minted chocolate sauce over all. They're superlative as dessert with cheese slices, fin gers or wedges on the side. Top pear halves with cottage cheese sprinkled ever so lightly with candied ginger. Brush them with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and broil until glazed for serving with meat. Bartlett pears are among the easiest of fruits for putting in glass jars and home freezer con tainers. They make fine flavor ed jams, preserves and baked goods. Make Pear Chutney We asked California' Pear Growers for a brand new. recipe that could be put in pints for give-aways to favorite friends and relatives; for endearing us to hostesses and for the family to enjoy. Make several batches. . Don't try to double up. Pack in jars now; dress them up later to fit each special give-away occasion. 3 pounds firm fresh pean.un peeled 1 pound fresh plums, un peeled 2 ounces fresh ginger root or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger 8 ounces package seeded raisins 2 pound package dark brown sugar 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine 1 tablespoon cayenne V cup salt 2 cups while vinegar ' Use your heaviest kettle or Dutch oven for this. "Cracked" ginger is small pieces of un ground ginger root; is desirable for chutney making. If none available however, powdered ginger can be substituted. You'll wind up with about 5Vi cups prepared Bartlett pears, 1V4 cups prepared purple plums. " Cut unpeeled fruit into coarse pieces; add hopped ginger root or powdered ginger, rinsed raisins, sugar, garlic, cayenne (less of this if you prefer it less hot), salt and 1 cup only of the vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook at lowest possible heat one hour, stirring ever so gently once in while to prevent sticking. At end of cooking time, stir in the other cup of vinegar. Bfing to a boil and pour into sterilized jars. Seal immediate ly. Four pints. Takes a while but is worth it. Pear and Plum Jam For 8 medium glasses of jam, you'll need aboift a pound each to get cups prepared fruit, ripe pears and purple plums Peel and core fully ripe pears: chop very fine or grind. Pit (do not peel) fully ripe plums; cut in small pieces and chop. Add 4 cup water to plums; bring to a boil .and simmer, covered 5 minutes. Combine frai and measure 0V2 cups into a large saucepan.

Makes about 8 medium glasses or 4 pounds of jam. Canned Salmon Good Here's Canned Salmon Week and it's no trouble at all to re mind you that canned salmon makes very fine eating in a great many ways and has for a long time. First salmon can nery in America was established at Sacramento in 1864. Salmon has' been king of canned fish ever since with canneries in Alaska, Oregon and Washing ton. Perhaps most popular uses are in salads, .sandwiches and in salmon loafs. We're going to be completely honest with you and tell you that we think canned salmon unsurpassed when simply taken from the refrigerator, turned out on a bed of watercress, masked in mayonnaise with added lemon juice and sprin kled with capers. Salmon Salad. Drain and flake 1 pound can salmon. Com bine Vz cup mayonnaise or salad dressing, Vi cup chopped celery, V4 cup cooked peas (optional) 2 tablespoons sweet pickle, chopped, 2 tablespoons chopped onion, 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped. Add salmon being careful not to break fish into too small pieces. Serve in let tuce cups; garnish. Makes six servings. Salmon Club Sandwich.

Place sliced tomatoes, salted and peppered, and let tuce leaf on each slice; cover with third slice of bread. Fasten with tooth picks, cut into quart ers. Garnish with ripe and green clives. pass Potato chips. Salmon Loaf. Drain (save liquid) and flake 1 pound can salmon, saving liquid.

DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) In Maryland a tee n-ager female autoist was arrested after driving her car at the rate of 100 miles an hour. Why do manufacturers make cars in tended for street and highway use that can go that fast? No wonder so many people are meeting sudden death in auto mobile accidents.

It lost $28,000 in one hour recently. A New Yorker is said to have tossed 32 con secutive passes that night. How ever, the battery of "one-arm Bandit" gambling machines the Prince put in not long ago is reported paying off very well. The minimum bet on these ma chines at Monte Carlo is the equivalent of $1.40.

The Detroit News refused to bargain with the striking Inter national Mailers Union, calling the walkout an "illegal action" because the paper didn't have a contract with the union which was formed last November by dissident members of the Inter national Typographical Union. The independent EVIU claimed to represent 450 mailers at all Detroit dailies. IMU President Ray Brown said the union will not call off the strike until the 67 mailers are rehired by the News. An attempt by the publishers to get an injunction against the IMU and Teamsters Local 372 collapsed Tuesday when Circuit Court Judge Horace Gilmore ruled state courts are without jurisdiction in the dispute.
