HOME-PRESERVED FRUIT
Sir-I also listened to the well-thought-out talk by Mrs. Miller on the "pros and cons of bottling fruit at home, and while not entitely agreeing with some of the points she made, I do feel that E. L. Tapsfirth has quite misinterpreted the meaning of what she heard. Mrs. Miller did not advocate the large-scale buying of tinned fruit, but she did suggest that for the woman who has to buy fruit to preserve, it would be better, from a nutritional point of view, to concentrate on those fruits rich in vitamin C, such as black currants, . gooseberries and tomatoes, and for variety to buy occasional tins of peaches, apricots and pears. For the woman with an orchard at her disposal the position is obviously different, but I agree with Mrs. Miller when she says that very often the best fresh fruit is bottled and only the oddments used in season. As a case in point, I myself have always bought raspberries to bottle, but since hearing Mrs. Miller have decided that in future I will spend the same amount of money on raspberries but eat them fresh, and when pushing a prune round my plate next July will try to remember the joy those raspberries gave me in January.
