Mm®. PLAY EDITION ADDITION ' * Pag* 4 NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday, September II. 1W5 1 Food Home-canned fruits are a taste treat in winter Home-canned fruits can provide a welcome taste of summer during the long, cold winter ahead. But home-canned fruit pie fillings could provide an unwelcome case of food-poisoning Instead. According to McHenry County Extension Home Economists, Nancy Moore's recipes for canned fruit-pie filling have been tried by some Illinois homemakers Interested in duplicating pie fillings available at the grocery store. And while the home-canned filling may taste good, the thickened pie fillings are likely to be underprocessed if they are processed as regular canned fruit In syrup. "It takes a lot longer for heat to adequately penetrate a thickened mixture than it does to penetrate a Jarful of fruit in syrup," Moore said. "At this time, nobody is quite sure how long it does take to ensure a safe product." Researchers have been trying to develop safe recipes, but they've had limited success Moore says different recipes and the diffeent kinds and amounts of starch used In homemade pie fillings make it hard to determine safe processing times. "Although some research-based recipes have come out in the past, homemakers are reporting spoilage problems with them, too. Given the present state of knowledge, the safest thing is to can your fruit the usual way, and thicken it only when you're ready to make your pie." U n t i l f i n a l p r o c e s s i n g recommendations can be made, Moore says that it is important for home-canning enthusiasts to follow canning recipes that are known to be safe. "Because improperly canned foods may spoil and cause serious illness, homemakers should be very careful to follow research-based recipes from reliable sources," she said. If you're not sure about the s a f e t y o f a r e c i p e y o u ' r e considering, contact Moore at the county extension office, (815) 338- 3737.
