Pickling was particularlyfavored by German housewives, who mastered the art of making the famous seven sweets" and “seven sours.” Those early European homemakers learned that pickling was one way of preserving summer’s bounty for winter serving. They also prepared fruit preserves and butters for the same reason. Centuries later, when early settlers of this nation rolled across the nation in covered wagons, tucked into the personal effects of women pioneers were tried and true recipes for pickles and preserves. From those early recipes have evolved the recipes which follow CROCKED FRUIT Fresh fruit in season:

Pineapple, peaches, nectarines. plums, seedless grapes, pears, apples. Strawberries add a special perfume to the mixture but tend to fall apart in the crock, so throw in just a few at the top. Granulated sugar. Nuts: Walnut or pecan halves (optional). Spirits. Brandy, rum or bourbon or other whisky. Dried fruit: Pitted prunes, apricots, raisins, figs, pitted dates. Canned fruit: Peaches, pears, pineapple, apricots, cherries. 1. Peel fruit if necessary. Remove pits and cut up. Don’t make the pieces too small; each fruit should be identifiable. 2. Weigh prepared fresh fruit and turn into a large bowl. Add an equal amount of sugar by

weight. (If you don't have a scale, measure fruit by cupfuls and add about % cup sugar for each cup fruit) Let stand about an hour, stirring occasionally. 3. Add nuts if desired, but no extra sugar with them. 4. Spoon fruit nuts and sugar into a large crock or jar. Pour spirits over to cover. Put lid on crock. Keep in a cool, dry place. 5. When crock is full, let it stand at least a week, preferably longer, before starting to use. Stir before spooning out fruit. 6. Whenever adding fresh fruit to crock, follow above proportions on fruit and sugar and add enough spirits to cover fruit Stir well with each addition of fruit to lift any undissolved sugar that may settle to bottom of crock. 7. When adding dried fruit, follow sugar proportions and other suggestions indicated above. 8. When adding canned fruit drain well, cut up if necessary, measure by cupfuls. Add onethird cup sugar for each cup of canned fruit, then proceed as above.

Shearer Facts ... ByCARLSHEARER It’s a fact... that the most important thing about you is what you believe about God. This is true because your belief or lack of it inevitably reflects itself in your actions and attitudes. For instant: Joseph of the Old Testament maintained his balance when cruelly sold into slavery by his brothers because of what he believed about God... Moses gave up a King’s palace for the desert and God’s people because of what he believed about God. Hebrews 11:27 says, “he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” > What you believe about God will show itself in your actions. Faith is illustrated in the Bible by what people DID rather than what they SAID or professed. We invite you to attend the Milford Christian church this Sunday.
