THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1942 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE SIX 0F Interest to THE MIXING BOWL Dy ANNE ALLAN Hydre Home Eonomlsl Vegetable Storage in 1942 Hello Homemakers- There is really great strategy being used in the storage of vegetables these days. So, because you are in the canning mood. don'*t go overboard and can aîl your vegetables. Con- sider first the adequate storage methods availabie to you. (1) For root vegetabies which will hibernate (such as potatoes. carrots. beets. onions. parsnips and turnips) store in cool cellars. in above-ground mounds, or in underground pits. Pumpkins and winter squash can also be stored for severai months in these places. (2) The drying method is re- commended to save both jars and fuel. Peas, beans and corn may be blanched, put on a cookie pan and left in the warming oven to dry slowly and thoroughly; or, after the oven meal is taken out of the electric range. tomn the switches off and put the pan of seeds or kernels in the oven. (3) Many fruits and vegetables (cherries, berrnes. peas. corn, etc.) may be picked. cleaned and put into cartons or suitable containers and frozen in a locker at the cold storage plant in your vicinity. (4) The pickling or sait curing storage method "pots down" cab- bages, cucumbers and peppers. (5) Tomatoes are best canned by the oven or water-bath me- thod. The oven method helps to keep the vitamin content. Recipes Oven Canned Tomatoes Select f irm, ripe tomatoes. Wash. Blanch by immersing in boiling water for about 1 minute. Plonge into cold water and peel at once. Pack into jars. Add i tsp. saît te each quart jar. Cover with boiling water or tomate joice. Partially seal and process 45 mins. in elcctric oven preheated to 275'. Home Canned Spinach (Requested) Pick over leaves carefully. Wash 3 or 4 times. lifting out the greens each time. Shred as for cooking if necessary. Heat in an uncovered kettlc with a very small amount of water over 10ow" heat until wilted. Stir while heat- ing. Pack into pint jars. Add l-, tsp. sait to each pint. Cuver with boiling ,vater. Partialiy seal and cook in boiler by xater-bath method for 3 hours. Home Canned Pumpkmn (Requested) Wash. Remove seeds and peei. Cut into 1i nci cubes. Cook in a small quantity of water until soft. Put through a sieve. Reheat to boiling Point. F111 pint jars. Seal and process by water-bath method 3 or.Take A Tip 1. To cook or bake fillets of fish, wring water out of new piece of cheesecloth; then lay f il- lets on it. Lifting fillets out with the cloth prevents thema from breaking into pieces. Rinse the cloth in warmn water and it can be used again. 2. To remove f ish odour, rub the pan in which f ish is cooked with orange or lemon rind. 3. A piece of orange rind put into water in which suet or steam pudding is being cooked will make the pudding roll out of the cloth easily. 4. To dlean a stained enamel kettle. cook applesauce or toma- toes in it. These foods may be eaten-there is no danger. The Question Box Mrs. W. S. asks: "Recipe for tasty salad for wedding for 35?" Answer: Chieken Salad 3¾ý cups diced chicken, 3¾ cups diced veal, 5 hard-cook- ed eggs, 4 cups diced green celery, 11/ tsp. saIt. 1/4 tsp. pepper, 2',2 cups peas, 1 cup chopped lettuce, 2-3 cup minc- ed parsley, (l cup chopped nuts), 2 cups mayonnaise.
