FRUIT PRESERVATION
The prevention of decay or preservation is accomplished
by sterilization — this is brought about in two ways —
I — By kilhng all bacteria, molds and other organisms by
means of heat and enclosing in tight jars.
2 — By the use of a medium, such as a strong sugar or
acid solution, in which bacteria will not live.
Utensils
The following list of utensils will be necessary for con-
venient and effective work. Sauce pans, bowls, spoons,
colander, fruit press, dipper and funnel of porcelain,
enamel or aluminum should be provided as tin or iron
should never be used with fruit; jelly bags made of loosely
woven flannel or double cheese cloth, glass measuring cup
and a scale, jelly glasses, fruit jars with new rubbers.
Have the jelly bag sewed to a ring (a wooden embroidery
ring will do) and if convenience is desired a handle could
be fastened to the ring, thus making it possible for one
person to easily and quickly fill a jelly bag without fear of
burning. An arm from which to suspend the jelly bag for
draining should be in a convenient place above the table or
sink. A bird cage hook which can be laid against the wall
when not in use is good for this purpose.
The best style of preserve jars have a glass cover and
close with a spring, but the improved Mason jars with glass
cover are satisfactory. Pints are better than quarts for a
small family.
