about. That's what to do with all that ripe produce when the family can t bat another bean, tomato or, zucchini, hut successful gardeners who have an over abundance of produce need to contend with their harvest by preserving it for future use. One in four American families is raising and preserving some part of its foods. And. according to a Cornell University study, more than three-fourths of the 2800 home-gardeners who replied, said they do it in the hope of saving money; halt considered gardening a hobby; and almost half just want fresher food. Whatever your motivation, preserving your garden crop through freezing, canning, drying or pickling, can only add to your pleasure and pride. Here are a few questions and answers that may help you: Q What is the procedure for. canning without sugar'.’ A. Follow the regular di rec lions. but just omit the sugar. The food should keep, it it was done properly Sugar is not needed to prevent. spoilage, but to help maintain color, texture and flavor Q Can vegetables be processed without salt? A Yes. salt in small is used for retention ot color, texture and flavor. Q. When do you start counting the processing time? A. Follow the directions of the manufacturer This is alter the pressure canner has had the air exhausted, and the pressure has reached the proper pressure Q Why is it necessary to wash and blanch vegetables before freezing?

Except for green peppers and fjature onions, all vegetables must be blanched to destroy enzymes that cause unwanted changes in f<x>d color, texture and flavor. Q Why is open kettle canning not recommended A. In open-kettle canning, the food is cooked in ordinal - } pot then packed into hot jars and sealed.
