Bottling the Fruit Crop
A campaign for bottling and preserving fruit and vegetables has been inaugurated in Scotland by the Women’s Institutes. Because of the rationing of sugar, very little jam will be made this season, and bottling represents an alternative form of storage which will ensure that garden produce will not be wasted. Classes are arranged for institute leaders, who return to their institutes and give practical demonstra lions of what they have learned. One important development is that in addition to normal preserving it is now easy to store fruit and vegetables for long periods, to await the time when enough sugar has been accumulated by careful economy to justify a boiling. In this instance pure fruit is sealed ia jars or bottles, and though there is neither water nor sugar it keeps almost indefinitely
