fresh Frozen Strawberries Add Zest To Winter Meals By LULA P. AUSTIN, Home Service Advisor, Duke Power Company Fresh strawberry shortcake, strawberry sundaes, strawbeiTy meringue cake, or just plain straw berries for dessert or breakfast make meals more interesting and delicious for the family every mon th of the year, when they are froz en and stored away in the locker or home freezer. Since strawberry season is here, here are a few timely suggestions for preserving strawberries by freezing: Select ripe, firm, red berries. Pick over and discard over-ripe or soft berries. Place one pound, or a small amount at a time in a collan der. Wash by lifting the collander up and down in cold, or ice water, until berries are clean. Cap after washing. Place capped berries in a bowl. Add 1 part sugar to four parts ber ries. Slice with a slicer. Place in moisture - vapor - proof containers. Press out all air and seal air tight. (Berries may be sliced by hand.) If they are to be frozen in a home freezer, place each package against the wall of#the coldest part of the freezer. Make sure that the capaci ty of the freezer is not overloaded with fresh food. Follow instructions that are with the particular make of freezer for loading. Store at zero temperature. Fluctuating tempera tures can be disastrous to the qual ity of frozen food. If the berries are to be taken to locker-plant, place each package, as it is finished, in the electric refrig erator untill all are finished. Then rush them to the plant for quick freezing and storage in the locker.

So if more berries are to be frozen at a time than the home freezer can take care of, use the facilities of the locker plant instead of overloading the home freezer. Working with small quantities at a time, careful selection, speed in handling, and r quick freezing and storing at zero temperature are all important factors in having success in freezing fresh foods.

STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM .HOMEMAKERS I By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Get ready for canning season! ! A pressure cooker is a valuable ' piece of equipment—it saves time and fuel, there's much less danger of losing food, and high tempera ture obtained in the pressure cooker ! destroys harmful bacteria found in : the food. It is also a good time for the homemaker to check on her supply of lids and rings. If the bands from two-piece closures were removed and stored in a dry place, they will be ready for this season's use. Bands left on jars often rust and may be ruined in removing them from the jar. ; The next thing to check on is the supply of jars. I If the boiling water canner is no longer usuable, it's time to begin looking for equipment to replace it. And if the home equipment includes a boiling water canner but there's no rack for it, now is the time to i have a wooden one made. A rack allows the water to circulate freely around the jar. Much more even heat is given the jars by using a i rack than using cloths or newspa i pers under jars when boiling in the boiling water canner. There are small pieces of equip ment that make canning easier, such as tongs, jar lifters, and jar fillers. ' When cutting cookies for baking, arrange them on pieces of waxed paper, cut the exact size of the bak ing sheet. Then as each batch of cookies is baked and taken from the oven, it can be removed, paper and all, from the cookie sheet. Just as sir.iply can the next batch be placed on the sheet. This procedure saves time, and also makes it unnecessary to grease the baking sheet.
