They are also rich in the jellying substance pectin, says Dr. Bob Olsen, Utah State University Extension food science specialist. Olsen recommends that if you want to make your holiday cranberry sauce from fresh berries, plan on one pound of cranberries to yield three and one half cups of sauce. He says fresh cranberries should be plump, firm, dry and smooth for peak flavor. The natural acidity of cranberries makes them ideal for storage and they will keep in the refrigerator for four to eight weeks if stored in containers. Also, cranberries are one of the few fruits you can freeze as is. If you wish to transfer the cranberries to a moisture-proo- f container before freezing, Olsen suggests sorting out soft or bruised berries first. When the berries are defrosted, they may be used as fresh berries in most recipes. air-tig- 7 PRINCIPAL BILL Caldwell and physical science teacher Lyle Gillman accept a $1,000 check from Steve Thompson and Bob Cole of Chevron Resources. ureter's HOLIDAY Not only are the school kitchen ladies masters at preparing and feeding the multitudes, but they are also masters of disguise.
