_ _ ?t. < 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.) Fruits A.?Without Sugar. 1. Acid fruit juices can be neutralized with carbonate of lime, sterilized. bottled without sugar. (Bui letln 859, p. 5 ) 2. Fruit juice can be sterilized without sugar, bottled and used for jelly making when sugar is more plentiful, (Bulletins 820. p. 21. and -J 853. p. 18.) 't (Both of the above can be used as , "beverages, flavoring. in puddings, IT and in ice cream.) 3. Home made apple syrup. (Bulletin 839 p. 21 or Circular N It. 23.) 4. Every fruit can be completely and successfully sterilized with boiling water by increasing time of cooking. heat is processing. Sugar may be added when served if desired. (Bulletin 830. p. 15.) (Used in salads, desserts, pie filling. etc.) 5. Fruit Butters. A tart butter Is made without sugar. Sugar m*>y be added when served if desired. (Bulletin 853, p. 28. and Bulletin 900.) 6. Dry In,r fruit will save sugar. (Bulletin 084 1 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 Is desired it can he added at time of ^ use, either on the table or In general ^ eookery. I W 3. Jam and Marmalade. These require a larger amount of sugar ^ . than canned fruits and are used for special rather than generUfc^ofrposes .v,,*'- If made, use less sugar than*- "half p.. ^ and half" and cook longer. 4.
