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

More titan 650,000 Douglas fir
seedlings have been planted
during the recently concluded
reforestation season in In ter
national Paper Company tree
farms in Southwest Washington
and Northwest Oregon.
Several areas of IP ’s Long-
Bell Division forest lands at
Ryderwood, Wash , and Vernon
ia and Grand Ronde, Ore., have
been planted in a single-season
program which began last De
cember Reforestation in these
woodlands included some 1,800
acres of tree farm lands. The
program was concentrated in
areas of recent logging and in
previously unstocked sites.
In all IP woodlands on the
West Coast, 1.8 million trees
were planted this season on
more than 6,300 acres This
raises the total acreage refor
ested by IP on the West Coast
since 1971 to 32,000 acres.
