And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he anstoered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. St. Matthew 4:1-4 The peak of strawberry season is almost here. Strawberries have such a short season and are so perishable that they cannot be stored very long. Uncovered or loosely covered berries that are put in the refrigerator (40 degrees F.) will keep for just one to two days. Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Cooperative Extension home economist in McHenry county, recommends freezing strawberries for later use when strawberries can be obtained at a reasonable cost. Strawberries are easy to1 freeze. Select firm, full ripe berries and wash carefully before freezing. To avoid bruising and soaking the berries, wash a few at a time in cold water, says Ms. Moore. Drain on absorbent paper or in a colander or sieve. Remove hulls and follow directions for the type of pack desired. Use a dry-sugar or a syrup pack. The dry-sugar pack is especially easy and gives the best flavor and color. This method is usually used for sliced or crushed berries. For whole berries, Ms. Moore recommends a syrup pack because it produces a plump, well-shaped berry upon thawing. . For special sugar-free diets, freeze strawberries un sweetened. Unsweetened frozen berries are not as high in quality as sugar or syrup- packed berries. To dry-sugar pack, halve, quarter, slice or crush berries into a bowl or shallow pan. Sprinkle sugar over berries, using three-fourths cup sugar for each quart of fruit. Gently turn berries over and over until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Package and freeze. To make a syrup, use one and one-fourth cups water to one cup sugar. Dissolve the sugar in water. Chill the syrup before using. Use one-half to two- thirds cup of syrup for each pint Barbara Klein School Of Dance Tap and Ballet SUMMER CLASSES NOW FORMING ADULT - TEEN-AGERS - YOUNGSTERS For Enrollment Call: 8 1 5 - 7 2 8 - 0 1 6 1 or stop in 4403 Ringwood Rd.

For an unsweetened pack, place whole, sliced or crushed berries in containers. Cover with water or berry juice. Adding onie teaspoon ascorbic acid to one quart water or juice will help prevent browning. No matter which type of pack used, be sure to use moisture- vapor-proof containers. Do not fill containers completely. Allow a head space of one-half inch for pints and one inch for quarts. Be sure the berries are covered with syrup, juice, or water. Uncovered berries may change in color or flavor. To hold berries under the syrup, place a small piece of crumpled waxed paper on top and press berries down into the syrup or juice. Seal containers and label, with the name of the product and the date frozen. Freeze promptly, then store at 0 degrees F. or below. Use frozen strawberries within a year for best quality. Freshly made jam is more flavorful than that stored for a time in your cupboard. Use frozen berries any time of the year to prepare jam. • For more information on preserving foods, contact the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service at 815-338- 474, or stop in at the office at 11909 McConnell road in Woodstock.
