How can people talk and act so? It
surely must be because they don't

think every woman ought to be only
too glad to help conserve food when
she knows the sailors and soldiers
who are risking their lives for us will
need it.

CANNED PEACHES
Peaches peeled and canned whole have a
most delicious flavor. Peel them by plunging
Into boiling water, packing in jars and cook'
ihg according to canning club methods.
PEACHES COMMERCIALLY CANNED
Select peaches of uniform size and color
for canning. The discarded fruit, if ripe and
sound, may be used in marmalade or jam.
Peaches must always be cut in halves
when canned. - This can be easily done in
freestone peaches. If a clingstone is used,.
cut the peach before peeling all around the
edge of. suture, grasp a half with each hand,
giving a quick twist, and the peach will
break in halves. Peel very smoothly, leaving
no edge, and remove the stone. Place these
halves in wire baskets and plunge in boiling
water for one minute. .They will then be pli
able enough to pack.
Place in' jars in overlapping layers with
the pit side down, padding very carefully to
remove air bubbles.
Add a syrup made of 1 pint of sugar and 1
pint of water. It is necessary to use a heavy,
syrup, as the pack is so close that only a lim
ited amount can be poured into the jar. Al
ways add the syrup bit by bit as you pack.
It will be difficult to fill all crevices other
wise. Fill No. 3 tin, can full, but it Is not neces
sary to pack in symmetrical layers. For this
pack use syrup 1 pint sugar and 1 pint of
water.
Exhaust No. 3 can 3 minutes; process can
15 minutes.
Always add a peach stone, which has been
cracked, to the boiling syrup. It will im
prove the flavor. Remove before adding
syrup to peaches. Peaches should always
be graded as to color and size.. Never pack
in the same jar peaches of varying colors.
When canning peaches in glass, boil quart
jars 35 minutes. Process pint jars 25 min
utes, PICKLED PEACHES
peck peaches, 2 pounds sugar, 1 pint
vinegar, 1 ounce stick cinnamon, cloves.
Boil sugar, vinegar, and cinnamon twenty
minutes. Dip peaches quickly in hot water
and rub off the fuzz with'a brush. Put Into
syrup and cook until soft. Put into jars
and seal.
PEACH JAM
Use the' peaches that , are not pretty enough
to can. Put the fruit in a preserving kettle
.and as it comes to a boil crush It with potato
masher. If it is hard put it through a meat
cutter. . When it begins to Dull well add either-
as much; sugar as pulp or three quarters
as imuch,' according Jo how thick you want
it. Stir with a wooden spoon. . Boil until
the peaches begin to look clear, but no long
er, or the peaches will lose their fresh flavor
and light color.
PEACH BUTTER
'Peach butter is peach jam forced through
a potato ricer or cooked a long tme.
PEACH SHORTCAKE
- Make a short biscuit dough and cook it in
a flat pan in two layers, buttering the top
of the bottom crust so they will separate.
Put peach filling, hot, between layers and
over top.
PEACH FILLING
Crush the peaches and heat, but do not
bring quite to boiling point. Add as much
sugar as peach and add a small lump of but
ter. Serve very hot.
. PEACH COBBLER
Fill a baking dish three quarters full of
ripe, peeled peaches. Sweeten. Have no bot
tom crust but cover with a crust that has
slits or pricks to let out the air and is twice
as thick as pie crust. If you wish to avoid
using flour, substitute . the beaten white of
two eggs to which a tablespoon of sugar has
been added. When this is done, bake peaches
half an hour before adding beaten egg and
fifteen minutes after. Serve hot with cream
or rich milk.
