SURPLUS APPLES
NEW WAYS OF USING THEM
JUICE, JELLIES AND TREACLE
(From The Guardian's London Correspondent) LONDON, September 30. Apples may soon be on sale in Britain in bottles and jars. If negotiations now taking place are successful, thousands of tons of surplus apples will be sent to Government receiving stations. Here they will be turned into concentrated juice, jellies and treacle. Experiments have been carried out in London with a commercial plant. From mixed apples, picked at random, experts from the Long Ash ton Agricultural Research Station, Somerset, produced an apple juice which is pure liquid apple.
Mr V. L. S. Christy, who is in charge of the station said this week: "If the scheme is effective we shall have to deal with 100,000 tons of apples. We have produced products which maintain all the qualities of the apple. One pint of concentrated juice represents five pints of natural juice. The jelly and treacle are excellent for spreading on bread. We have found a way to utilise cider, dessert and cooking apples by blending them."
