PEACHES EASY AND GOOD FOH HOME CANNING Plump; peaphes are versatile fellows. They always taste good fresh. And canned, they're still flavorful, nutritious and a colorful addition to cereals, salads or desserts. Peaches are one of the easiest and best fruits to can. And Elbertas, which are now plentiful, are a good variety for home canning.* For a fine-quafity product, Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois foods specialist, says to select firm-ripe peaches that are uniform in quality. They should have a creamy background color; green shows that the fruit is not ripe. Half a bushel, or 24 pounds, of fresh peaches will make about 10 or 11 quarts of canned fruit. Although either a hot or cold pack is satisfactory for canning, the hot pack will give "a more solid pack because the fruit shrinks in the first .heating. For the hot pack, simmer peaches 3 to 5 minutes in a 20 or 30 percent sirup (one-third cup sugar to one cup water). But don't cook until soft. Pack into containers, placing cut side down and overlapping the layers" for uniform appearance. Fill containers with boiling sirup. Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. : y Buy U.S. Savings Bonds I L E IT YOURSELF AND SAVE! Top Quality Wall Tile at LOWEST Prices IZVi* sq. ft.
