' ' S u Vt i, ny, advises those who can peaches for the first time, and those whose canned peaches are below par, to d select fruit, when possible, and sort it for size, color, and condition before washing and peeling it Skins may be stripped from some peaches after they have been scalded in boiling water about a minute and then dipped in cold water, but the general run of them require other methods of peeling. The lye method, while practical when a large quantity is to be canned, requires skilL To lye peel, put four tablespoons concentrated lye in an enamel or granite kettle. Add two gallons water and heat to boiling. Put peaches in a basket and hold in the boiling lye from thirty to sixty seconds; then. wash immediately in cold water. Rinse through several waters to remove all skins and all traces of lye.' The fruit will darken if left in lye 'too long or If not well rinsed. Usually, paring with a knife is the most practical way of peeling. The peaches should be washed clean and drained before peeling. After peeling, the fruit should be cut in half, and the stones discarded. Freestone fruit has better flavor and, nicer, cleaner appearance if the red fibers are cut or scraped from the cavl ties. Dropping the peeled peaches into water (one tableweak spoon each to one gallon of water) helps prevent discoloring. They should not be left in the water longer than thirty or forty minutes and must be well rinsed before canning. Clingstone peaches are prepared for canning by removing the skins by one of the methods describe above. Clings may be halved (before peeling) by cutting around the peach with a sharp knife, beginning at the stem end and following the crease. After cutting, hold the peach with both hands and twist in opposite directions. This pulls one side away from the stone. Use a regular peach pitting spoon, a teaspoon, or a knife to remove the tone from the other half of the i 1 .MdPTi ' hot-wat- er hot-wat- er er one-eigh- th three-quarte- rs . ,1 , ' ' I GT - , fl ; ' ICE CREAM - ; , 4$ $"$& Gallon Making strategy Pints maps tor combat - . . 1.25 Quarts . 45c 25c Quails Oricks . 45c 4 ' jfr I 'I j3h5m81h5m4m5m5 4 about tha Woman' $ Army Corps, go to your below. hearaet U.S.Army Recruiting Station .

The easiest way to remove the flesh from the stone is to cut it in wedge-shape- d slices. Miss Kimbrough recommends hot packing and processing in a bath canner. Here are her two favorite recipes: (Use the longer cooking and processing time for clings and other very fine peaches.) Method I. Make a sirup of 1 or 2 parts sugar to 1 of water, depending upon the amount liked and the amount available. Add peaches, a few at a time, and simmer until hot through (4 to 10 minutes). Pack into hot jarf, layers overlapping, cavity side down. Cover with sirup in which peaches were cooked. Process (cook in ar) 10 to 20 minutes in bath. Can left-ovsirup for pudding or ice cream sauce. Method II. Add from 1 to 1 cup sugar and one cup boiling water to one gallon prepared peaches. Cook gently until peaches are hot through and sugar dissolved (10 to 20 minutes). Pack and process as instructed above. If there isnt enough liquid to cover peaches in jar, add boiling water after they are packed. If one is short of sugar, a sirup fnay1 be: made, by boiling two cups white corn sirup, two cups sugar, teaone cup water, and spoon salt together five minutes. Honey may be used instead of sugar but it changes the flavor, and sometimes the color, of the fruit. From to one cup sirup is usually needed for one quart of peaches. The fruit should be well covered with liquid. (If one runs out of sugar, peaches may be canned with plain boiling water. They keep just as well that way but do not have as good flavor.) Once fine fruit is selected, carefully prepared and processed right, canning success is assured if jars and caps are used according to the manufacturers instructions. These instructions will be found on printed leaflets packed in every carton. t Good soldiers... women's army corps i Photo Courtesy Bell Bros. Co. salt-vineg- ar At-- f' z.
