Receive Careful Attention UK Y CLEANSING BEST MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF PREPARING CURRANTS. Use of Squash Strainer and Flour Will Do Away With Much of the Tedi ous Work Heretofore Mad? Necessary. Th i o tiresome work has been greatly lessened by the introduction ot cur rants already cleansed and put up ni convenient packages, but many house keepers, either from choice or neces sity, use the currants which come in bulk, and have not yet learned the easiest way of thoroughly cleansing. Instead of putting them directly into water, a sort of dry cleansing is a great help in removing the grit and other foreign substances. Put the cur rants in a squash strainer and sprinkle them thickly with flour. Rub them well between, the palms of the hands until the bunches are separated, and the fine stems rubbed off, then rub them on the strainer till the flour, grit and stems have passed through the meshes. Then place the strainer with the currants in a large pan of luke warm water and wash thoroughly. Lift the strainer and currants to gether and change the water until nothing more is washed from the fruit ind the water is clear. This is much jasier than to leave the currants di rectly in the pan and simply pour off .he water, for they are mixed with the sediment When the fruit ls clean and well drained turn it out between two tow els and, spread it apart, drawing the perfect fruit to one end and carefully removing any stones or poor fruit ?vbich did not pass through the strain er. Let them dry thoroughly in a sunny or warm place, but do not hard en them by putting them in the oven. When well dried^ put them in glass jars carefully covered and keep in a cool, dry place.
