PUBLIC NOTICES. . PRESERVING FRUIT WITHOUT . ' ■ SUGAR. • THE following recipes received have been selected as desirable for publication to assist the public and reduce the difficulties caused by the present shortage of sugar. Fill benzine tin with fruit, complete with cold water, and solder up the hole. Then drive small nail hole in tin. Put tm on the firo and leave until boiling, lieniove tin.from fire am! immediately drop solder over the hole and the trick is done. < When required the contents can bo mado into jam or used for pies, etc. Prepare good sound fruit, notnoo ripe. Place in jars. Pack as tightly as possible. Fill up jars with cold water to within half an inch from top of. the jar, Place the rubber and top on, giving one screw. Plnce the jars in a boiler and fill the latter with cold water up to the necks of jars.: Bring to the boil, and when you seo th'e bubbles rising through the fruit take jars out and screw down tight without raising the lid. See that the rubber is , straight. By this method the fruit rctoinsits full flavour, and all thai is required when wanted for use is to' sweeten the liquid. I preserved tomatoes also in this way, and they do not lose colour or fliiv- , 'our. All fruit can be successfully preserved by simply using boiling water instead of syrup.. • Choose sound fruit, new rings, and clean bottles.' ITeat bottles, put on rings, fill with fruit, and 6tand bottles on folded towel, pour over boiUng water until bottles overflow. Screw top on tightly and stand upside down. , Fill preserving jars with sound fruit, wiped clean. Stand in a bucket of clean cold water, sufficiently dren to completely cover the iars. While under- the water put. on. caps' nnd screw down tightly, but not until all air is excluded. This will be when no bubbles arise. Remove jars from bucket, wipe dry, and as a further precaution paste paper over caps to below the bottom of the rubber rings. Tlio secret lies in having plenty of water and allowing 110 air to remain in the jars. . ' N. B.—l. Boil iars and rubbers to sterilise same and u?e good new rings. 2. Wipe or wash fruit befortf placing in jars. 3. Cut fruit, placed in brine of 2oz. , salt to 1 gallon of water, will. prevent • > discoloration beforo being packed in jars. 1 4. Wrap iars with paper when storing .to avoid light. 1 5/Staml bottles upside down when storing. fi. Store in dark, cool, dry place. 7. A lynz'ne tin with side cut oul makes an ideal boiler. N.Z.
