A MINIMUM OF SUGAR
trnftrd Stat cm Food Administration
Issues Instructions leading
to Saving.
The loss of sugar and sugar ships
by German submarines, a shorter
crop than was anticipated, and the
transfer of 50,000 tons of shipping
allotted to other purposes In order
to meet the requirements for
Ilelgian relief have caused the sugar
situation again to become serious.
Sugar now available for home canning
must be sold only in accordance
with instructions of the local representative
of the Federal Food Administration.
In order to assist In
making the amount of sugar w hich is
allowed to go as far as possible, the
food administration is issuing these
Instructions, "Maximum Canning
with Minimum Sugar." The numbered
references therein are to the
Farmers' Bulletins Issued by the
United States Department of Agriculture,
which may be obtained from
that department.
It is hoped that with the aid of
these Instructions and the Farmers'
Bulletins, It may be possible for a
household to use even less than its
allowance of sugar in canning and
preserving. without reducing its
home canning program.
The modern air-tight container
and the development of scientific
canning methods in the home have
done away with the absolute necessity
of using sugar as a preservative
(Note: All references given are
to the Farmers' Bulletins issued by
the United States Department of Agriculture
which may be secured from
that department.)

2. Fruit juice can be sterilized

II.?Willi Sugar.
Pectin test. (Bulletin 853. p 37 )
* 1. Jelly. After cooling the cook
e<l fruit juice to room temperature
test it to determine the amount of
pectin present. This test gives some
' . idea of tlie proper proportion of sugar
to juice. Add 1 tablespoon r
per cent grain alcohol to an equal
volume of cooled fruit juice and
shake gently. (If denatured alcohoi
is used, remember it is poison.)
^ The effect of the alcohol is to bring
together the pectin in a jelly-like
^ mass. If a large quantity of pectin
is present, it will appear in one mass
snr^lot when poured from the glass.
This indicates that equal quantities]
of sugar and juice may he used. If
the pectin does not slip from the
glass in-one mass, less sugar will be
- Teqnired.
A The mntertal used in this test
should be destroyed.
^ A fair proportion is .1-4 cups of
? sugar to 1 cup of juice. If the pec-l
tin is thin and much separated. 1-2 1
cup of sugar allowed for each cup of
Juice will be sufficient. By employing
this test sugar can often be re"
duced; in this case the jelly texture
-will be fine, less rubbery, and the
flavor better.
V. Preserved Fruits. The preservation
of fruits without sugar is
? a common household practice and de
.pends upon accurate following of the
/* * method (see A. 4.) Kxcess sugar
will frequently form crystals and
Impair the appearance and quality of
"the product. A thin syrup made with
4 parts water to 1 part sugar may be
used for all fruits. If more sugar
