JAMS CAN BE EASY ON SUGAR!
Beautiful but dumb?that'* strawberries! Take away their
glorious coloring and what have you? Nothing much but dull,
uninteresting lumps, incapable of self support!
Strawberries demand sugar just as if it were not rationed and
umat upuu iiiuai ui lb ucing grifiu-y
la ted. When going into jams or pre
serves, they will tolerate the substi
tution of com sirup or com sugar for
about one-third of the regular sugar
called for in the recipe.
These pampered pets of the gar
den can't stand up and jell without
the aid of sugar and pectin. Some
of them need lemon juice too. They
will not behave right when canned,
unless granted more sugar than any
other berry wants; then after they
?et. it, they must be petted along
or they fade, flatten, and float.
According to Qladys Kimbrough.
Home Service Director for Ball
Brothers Company, glass jar com
pany with headquarters at Muncie,
Indiana, "Tart strawberries with
small core and deep red color
throughout are less popular with
the general public than the sweet,
feather-weight ones, but are far
the better for canning and preserv
taf."
Miss Kimbrough advises home
canners to forget about preserves
for the duration or until sugar is
more plentiful and make up a con
slderable amount of )am. Jams are
easy on sugar. A good one can be
made by using one-half pound
sugar and one-third pound of corn
sirup to each pound of capped ber
ries. Jams need to be cooked a
little longer when corn sirup is used.
They should be cooked in small
batches and stirred often.
Berries Without Sugar
When one runs out of sugar, ber
ries (any kind) may be cleaned,
crushed and stewed in their own
juice until thick, then canned by
processing 10 minutes in a hot-water
bath canner. Strawberries, pre-1
pared in this manner have an ugly
color but will brighten up to some
extent later on when sugar is added
and the mixture boiled down to Vic
tory jam thickness?meaning not
quite so thick as usual. Two cups of
sugar are needed for making one
quart of crushed berries into jam.
Here is a helpful hint. A spoon or
two of Juice from these beets you
canned won't change t.ie flavor but
will help the color of jam made
from ea-ncd strawberries.

Blueberries, huckleberries, black
berries, dewberries, elderberries
and many others are far more use
ful than strawberries and can
beautifully without one speck of su
gar. Most of them can best when
heated slowly until the juice runs
free before they are turned into
jars for processing, but blueberries,
especially if they are to be used in
muffins and the like, are nicer when
canned by a recipe we found in
the Ball Blue Book.
Place two or three quarts clean
blueberries in a square of cheese
cloth. Hold the cloth by the cor- -j
ners and dip into boiling water
until spots appear. Then dip quickly
in and out of cold water. Pack into
hot jars. (Add neither sugar nor
liquid.) Process 20 minutes in hot
water bath.
Wild blackberries have always
been a favorite with home canners
but the equally useful elderberry is
likely to be left to the birds. That
when elderberry pie is so wonder
ful! Good cooks usually touch jt up
with a spoonful of lemon juice or
vinegar.
We like elderberries and most
others best when canned with some
sugar, but sugar shortages cer
tainly won't stop us if we can beat
the birds to the berries.

A grateful Nation hat girded It
Mil lor the Mighty Seventh War
Loon for 14 billions of dollars, half
ef which hat been assigned as the
Individual sales quota. According to <
reports from state chairmen reach
ing Ted K. Gamble, national di
rector of the War Finance Division
et the Treasury in Washington, the
Nation is ready for the hnge task.
Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about
results. He said "We're prepared to
do the best Job in the 7th War
Loan." Mr. Gamble said that "not
only is there more money available
thin ever before
fat each atate, but
Individual in
come will be
higher in the pe
riod of the 7th
War Loan than
in any previous
War Loan pe
riod."
Secretary of the
Treasury Henry
Morgenthau said
UJ11I___ ? t

dollars has been
assigned as the quota for Individual
investors and that the major
emphasis throughout the drive will
be placed on the quota for individ
uals. The individual quota is the
highest established in any of the
previous drives, the secretary said.
The E Bond quota alone is f bil
lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near
ly as much in the one drive as was
asked in the first two drives of last
rear which were held up to this
Ume. The two drives of this year,
therefore, will seek nearly as much
3 was sought in the three drives
1944.
The Secretary stated that there is
avenr evidence that Federal ex
penditures are going to remain at
a high level for some time to come,
and that the Seventh War Loan pro
gram was designed to obtain maxi
mum funds necessary to prosecute
the War from non-bank investors.
The securities, which will be sold
under the direction of the State War
Finance Committees, are as follows:
Series E, F and O Savings Bonds,
Series C Savings Notes, 24% Bonds,
14% Bonds. 14% Bonds, 4% Cer
