Ladies,
Have You Heard?
By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist
About Proper Canning Methods?
Its fun to experiment with new recipes, but if you’re canning
fruits and vegetables, use only canning methods which have been
tested and approved. Using questionable canning
methods may result in food poison.
Process fruits and tomatoes in a boiling
water bath. But process all vegetables and low
acid foods in a pressure canner,
There are several reasons for these rules.
Boiling temperature of 212 degrees is used in
canning foods containing acid, such as fruits and
tomatoes. The acid helps to retard the growth of
spoilage organisms.
But a higher temperature of 240 degrees is
needed to destroy spoilage organisms when can
ning low-acid vegetables or meat. To reach this
higher-than-boiling temperature, can these foods
under pressure.
Processing foods in your oven is highly un
safe, according to United States
Department of Agriculture.
The temperature of food in jars
during processing doesn’t ge f
high enough to insure destruc
tion of spoilage bacteria in the
food. And there’s the danger
that jars may explode.
The United States .Department
of Agriculture also reports that
aspirin can’t be relied upon to
\
prevent spoilage or to give a
satisfactory product. Adequate
heat treatment .is the only safe
procedure to use when canning.
For specific canning practices
that are known to produce safe
products, refer to your cook
books. Save your experimenting
for new recipes.
How To Take Vacation Pictures?
How can yon enjoy the same
vacation twice?' Or dozens of
times? OneAvay is be reliving
vacation £un with pictures
Granted, it’s not quite the
being back on the beach
or in the mountains, but your
vacation is more fun if you can
share it, through pictures, with
friends and relatives.
Sometimes it’s fun to go on
vacation with strangers—a cruise
or a tour, for example. But
don’t take along a camera that’s
a “stranger.” And that goes for
any other picture-taking equip
ment.
Try your new equipment at
home before you leave for vac
ation. And it might be good to
try a test roll of film in any
camera that hasn’t been used
lately—just to .be sure it’s work
ing as well as you remember.
It’s also a good idea to buy
your vacation film before you
leave home. - You may not find
the kind you like best when you
'get where you’re going. And to
be sure you get fresh film, check
the date on the bottom of each
box.
Everybody loves a story and
your family and friends will en
joy reliving your vacation with
you even more if you turn it into
a picture story. Most vacation
trips are fun because of the var
iety of people you meet and the
places you see. As a rule-of
thumb for your vacation picture
story, try taking about equal
numbers of “people pictures”
and scenic shots Both are easy.
For the most natural-looking
pictures of people “keep them
busy.” Make people-pictures
come alive by having the people
in them do something. People
will feel more relaxed and your
pictures will look better.
You can increase the feeling
of depth and distance in your
scenic shots by including people
or familiar objects in the fore
ground.
Signs you find along the way
make good titles for your vac
ation picture story. And they’ll
help you remember the location
when you show your pictures.
And remember that pictures
can often tell a story with hardly
a word spoken. What about
rainy days 9 They happen in
some of the very best vacations.
Rainy day fun—and nightime
fun—are easy to remember, too.
Just use flash and capture the
event.
It you picture your vacation
this year, you’ll enjoy it for
‘J - '--'J.
