S enior C itizen Trip Enjoyed N ew s — *q<MwaaboM«MM«waowMX By Crawfords THURSDAY, Extension Agent Last year many families put up so much canned and frozen f<xxl they will be unable to eat it by the time the new crop is harvested Although preserved foods may be safe to eat after the first year, there are reasons to avoid preserving much larger quantities. Quality of preserved foods de creases slowly with age. Nu tritive values decline gradually. E xtia jars, lids or other re usable packaging materials for fiMxl kept longer than one season mean unnecessary costs. Stor age space required for the extra food might be used for other purposes Questions this week reflect the concern for advanced planning, as well as typickl canning prob lems. Q Is there a way to plan in advance for the amount of food to preserve? A Figure that there are about 36 weeks you will use preserved fruits and vegetables assuming they are available fresh for 16 weeks of the year Take fruit for example. Mul tiply the number of times a week you serve fruit times 36 weeks. Divide this total number of serv ings by 8 to get the number of quarts needed per person as suming each serving will be about a half a cup in size. Multiply the number of quarts by the number of family members to get an estimate of the total number of quarts to be frozen or canned for the year. You can figure the amounts of vegetables, pickles, meats or any other foods to preserve using the same method of figuring Q. How can I prevent fruit from floating at the top of the ja r 1’ A Fruit floats when the fruit is lighter than the syrup Use firm ripe fruit Using the hot pack method removes air„ which helps prevent floating. Use light or medium syrup in place of heavy syrup. Pack fruit as closely as possible without crushing it. Q How can I salvage canned fruit and vegetables that didn’t seal? A You have three choices: refrigerate and use within a few days, freeze; or process the food again. If you reprocess the food, check the ja r rim and lid fo r. defects or food particles that caused the problem. Process for the full time. The product will be overcooked, but sftB?T, Q Last year I had problems with canned fruits ana vegetal bles that didn’t seal What did I do wrong9 A Many factors can contrib ute to the problem Check out these points: Did you follow exactly the directions for using the screw bands and lids9 Did you use new lids and screw caps that are in good condition? Was the correct amount of head space left? Were air bubbles “ knifed out" before sealing ja rs 9 Did ja r rims have nicks or foixl particles on them? Q Is it safe to process food in the oven? A No, oven canning is dan gerous Jars may explode. The temperature of the food in jars during processing does not get high enough to insure destruc tion of spoilage bacteria in veg etables Q My mother always canned by the open kettle method A neighbor says this is not safe. Why? A In open kettle canning, food is cooked in an ordinary kettle, then packed into hot jars and sealed without processing. For vegetables, the temperatures obtained in an open kettle are not high enough to destroy all the spoilage organisms that may be in the food Spoilage bacteria may get in to any type of food when the food is transferred from kettle to ja r To obtain reliable canning directions, con tact your county extension of fice Q My uncooked strawberry jam didn't set up What causes this? Is there a way to get it to set up now? A It is critical for the pectin to be dissolved and thoroughly mixed with the fruit Be sure to follow directions exactly when making jams and jellies If the jam is too soft, bring it to a boil; it will thicken upon cooling Fir Seedlings Planted By IP WORK ON the retaining wall at (herloca! swim ming pool continues despite the winte-Uke winftp-Uke wea- ing ^ flte e cement cei ther.
