particularly like to try new recipes
for my family because they will eat
just about everything. It’s a plea-
sure to prepare meals for them,”

the Dallas Post since 1976 and

The variety of squash available
Josephine Kotch, extension home
economist for Luzerne County offers
these tips:
Wash squash. Pierce rind deeply
several times with sharp knife for
steam outlets. Place on paper towel
in oven.
Microwave at High until squash
yields to pressure and feels soft. Cut
in half crosswise. Scoop out seeds
and fibers. Twist out long strands of
flesh with fork. Serve with your
favorite sauce or seasonings.
Fresh Summer Squash (Zucchini
slices ¥4 inch), 2 cups, 2%-6% min.
Let stand, covered, 2 minutes
Yellow slices ¥; inch. 2 cups, 4%-
7% min.’ Let stand, covered 2 to 3
minutes.
Spaghetti, whole, 1 1b. 4-6 min.
Let stand, covered, 5 minutes
Patty Pan immature ‘cubes (34
in.), 4 cups, 9-11 min. 1% qt. cov-
ered casserole with 2 tablespoons
water. Stir twice.
Frozen squash mashed, 12 oz.
pkg. 5%-8 min. 1-qt. covered casso-
role. Break apart after 2 minutes;
stir at 2 minute intervals.
Crystals in jelly
Sometimes sugar crystals will
form in jellies. The cause may be
excess sugar, undissolved sugar
crystals from the edge of the pan
getting into the jar, or cooking the
jelly too long, too little, or too
slowly.
There is no formula for removing
these crystals, but you can try
remaking the jelly with added
water, says Josephine Kotch, Exten-
sion Home Economist for Luzerne
County.
Start by adding about 2 cup
water to the amount of jelly from
the original recipe. If you have a
nice, firm jelly, reheat the jelly with
the added water only by rapidly
bringing it to the boiling point while
stirring constantly.
Immediately fill hot into clean
eadspace.
