The editor of the American Agricultu
rist, after recommending the use of glass
jars, inverted into tin pans and closed with
cement, concludes his article as lollows.
His directions for preserving will of course
apply to all other modes of putting up
fruit.
From the American Agricultural for July.
Preserving Fruit-
The essential points to be observed in
preserving fruit are : Ist, that the articles
be entirely fresh. With soft pulpy fruits,
as strawberries, this is very important. —
Many who have been at fault here, blamed
the bottles or cans, and us for recommend
ing them. Berries purchased in the mar
ket are often from six to thirty hours
gathered, or mo.c. Fermentation advan
ces somewhat before it can be perceived by
the taste, and when once it has started, is
with difficulty arrested. The good house
wife sometimes introduces such fruit into
confinement, without sufficient cooking—
'the openings are safely closed, but the
' working' goes on. Carbonic gas is gen
erated, ' pop' go the corks, and out run the
frothing syrup and the housewife's hopes
together. Fruits with a firm skin give less
difficulty, because their decay does not
commence so early.
2J. .Sufficient cooking is needed to expel
: I.- air con. ined in the fruit, and to coun- :
Eeraefc the change which exposure to the
■atmosphere has produced. The liquid al
bumen is nude solid by boiling, and in
this state is not easily fermented. Green
corn among vegetables, require the longest
boiling; say two to three hours. Skin
fruits, as plums, peaches, etc., we have
.kept without cooking, except that obtained
by pouring in the boiling syrup and seal
ing at once, but a previous heating through
is preferable.
3d. Care must be taken to entirely ex
elude the air. Fill the bottles, raise the
liquid to the boiling point, then put in the
cork, arid make all so tight with cement,
that air can not enter. A pin hole left
will as certainly spoil the fruit as though
the cork was not inserted. Housekeepers
should not be discouraged by one or two
failures. A few trials will give the neces
sary practical experience, after which they
will thank the Agriculturist lor commen
ding the fruit bottles. Mow is the time to
procure a supply.
SPECIAL KIItECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP
FRUIT.
As a guide to new readers, of whom we
have some fifteen or twenty thousand, and
for convenient reference for older readers,
,vho may not have last year's numbers at
hand, wc add the following special direc
tions :
Berries. For strawberries, blackberries,
and raspberries, take the clean fruit, pick
ed while dry, avoiding washing unless re
ally necessary. Put into a glazed vessel;
one of brass will do, but is not so good as
enameled one. Pour over it a hot syr
up made of 4 lb. to 1 lb. of good white
sugar to one pint of water. (We have
used I, J, and 1 lb. of sugar with nearly
equal success. A good rule is to use about
•as much sugar as will be required to fit
■the fruit for eating, remembering that
rather more is required when the fruit is to
be saturated through, than when it is to be
eaten fresh.) A small amount of syrup
will be needed to fill the interstices be
tween the fruit, and it need not eome up
quite to the top at first, as the fruit will
sink down into it when boiling. Careful
ly cook the berries in the syrup for 12 or 20
minutes, so that all shall be scalded through.
Too much cooking spoils the form of the
iruit, and dissipates the fine aroma. Ileat
it through, but do not stew it down. Have
the bottles ready heated by the stove, or in
.water (setting them in, when it ,s cold,
and beating it up), and pour in the fruit
with the syrup. This can best be done
•through a wide-necked funnel, or from a
pitcher, to avoid getting the s}rup upon
the top of the bottle, which would prevent
the union of the was with the glass—a
very common error. Fill the bottles not
quite to the top of the neck. Let thcrn
stand a few minutes, occasionally jarring
them a little, to facilitate the escape of any
air hubbies left oti pouring in the fruit.
1 his, with the partial cooling, will cause
the fruit to shrink a little. Xow pour in
enough more syrup to fill the bottles as
high as where the bottom ot the cork will
sink to. (. arefully wipe oflf any chance
drops of syrup that may have been care
lessly left upon the neek or top of the bot
tle, and press in the corks. The corks
>:hould be large, and he softened in hot
water, so that they will press in easily.
I'ress the corks down upon the syrup. If
any syrup oozes through, carefully wipe it
all off with a towel dipped in hot water, so
as to leave the glass clean for the wax.
As soon as the water dries off", dip on the
melted cement with a spoon, until the top
is well covered. Pour a little of' the ce
ment into the ' patty pans,' turn the waxed
neck into it, and add enough more cement,
.o perfectly close the rim of the bottle
n-ck Remember that water or grease on
< mek >f the bottle will prevent the firm
ui tin of the wax. (We make a long story
ul'these particulars, but they are essential,
and easily and quickly attended to, requi
ring less me and troub'e, than to watch
the cook :g in the old method of preserv
ing.
lor Cement, the best we have found is
about 1 ounce of tallow to 1-4 ounces of
common resin. Ibis is a cheap compound,
the resin costing only 4 to 6 cents per
pound at retail. We make up a dozen
pounds or so at a time, and keep it on hand,
melting it as olten as needed.
Peaches, clieri ies, plums, apricots,pears,
quinces, <(•<•., may all be put up in the same
manner, and with but very moderate cook
ing. Apples and quinces of course require
paring and coring. They may be cut into
j pieces of any desired size and form. If in
very large pieces, a little longer boiling
may be needed to have them heated
through, but not cooked soft on the out
side. The pits should be removed from
peaches; cherries are all the better for be
: ing first stoned, and more of them can thus
be got into the bottles.
Apples may be stewed into sauce ready
for the table, and then be bottled up tor
use, without further cooking, three, six,
nine, or twelve months afterwards. IV e
always put up a large quantity thus, at dif
ferent periods of the year —in the \\ inter
taking cans that had previously been used
for the same purpose or for other fruits.
Any kind of stewed sauce may be sea
; soned, then bottled and sealed, and be al
ways ready for use.
Tomatoes we put up largely every year,
and have now (in June) a fair supply, as
: good as if just gathered and cooked. —
. These we skin, cut, and boil down one
half, and then bottle up. Prepared in this
way toe)' are so convenient, and of so good
and fresh quality, that we make no special
i effort to secure early new tomatoes.
Rhubarb, stewed soft, sweetened as for
; pies, and bottled, comes out nice and fresh
; in mid-winter or Spring.
Currants and gooseberries are also simi
larly kept, but these should be mature, if
not ripe, and be well cooked and sweetened
with a strong syrup.
Green peas, beans, and corn may also be
kept, but they need to be thoroughly cook
ed before bottling, or they are liable to
spoil.
We repeat in closing, that though we
have made a long chapter in giving partic
ulars, the process of putting up in bottles
and cans, we find to be less trouble and la
bor, than the old fashioned mode of pre
serving in sugar, while less sugar is requi
red, and a sweetmeat or sauce is thus ob
tained, far superior in appearance, in taste,
and especially in healthfulness.
