Wider Use for^"eezing Storage. jj That the utilization of freezing i storage for the preservation of ber- j lies, other small fruits and tomatoes ! could be profitably extended, is the belief of specialists of the Bureau of Markets, United State s Department j of Agriculture. Many ice-cream manufacturers and canners would be benefited by adopting practicable methods of holding such products for manu- ] facturfng purposes, say the special- j ists. ' ] It is pointed out that the preserva- ft tion of fruits by freezing is cheaper 5 than canning them, especially when s tin containers are scarce and costly, { as at present; and that the frozen | fruit, held at the proper temperatures, J has a more natural flavor than canned s or dried fruit. The experimenters | found fruit preserved by freezing to | be fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit I and superior to canned or dried fruit 8 for use in making ice creams and j| sherbets, and for cooking into pies, h| preserves, jellies and other desserts Si and confections. The frozen fruits gj after thawing out are not well suited 2j for eating alone in a raw state, but 8; are considered very palatable when flj eaten before they have completely ?J thawed. When used as ingredients j[! for desserts and confections best re- suits will be obtained if they are com- p bined before thev are free from ice. > ? j Subscribe now for The Record.
