Fruits canned without sugar by 

 either of the processes above described 

 may be employed in making pies, 

 sauces or for desserts, while fruits, 

 fruit juices or berries may be put up 

 in this way and subsequently used for 

 making jams or jellies later in the sea- 

 son or at the convenience of the house- 

 hold. Many persons prefer that some 

 sugar be cooked with the fruit, and the 

 flavor of some fruits, as for example 

 cherries, is improved by such treat- 

 ment. If this is desired, the canner 

 who is using the cold-pack method will 

 find it easiest to place the required 

 amount of sugar in each jar before the 

 fruit is packed into it. If the open- 

 kettle method is used, a syrup of the 

 desired strength may be made, boiled 

 for two minutes in a covered vessel, 

 kept hot on the stove and used to fill 

 the cans just before sealing. The 

 amount of sugar used may be deter- 

 mined by the taste or purse of the in- 

 dividual, but the beginner may be 

 guided by the following suggestions: 



Extra light syrup, 1 pint sugar (14 

 ounces) to 2 quarts water; used for 

 peaches, pears, plums, cherries, apples 

 and all berries. 



Light syrup, 1 pint sugar to 1 quart 

 water, used for same fruits. 



Medium syrup, 1 pint sugar to 1 pint 

 water, used for sharply-acid fruits as 

 sour cherries, currants, loganberries 

 and gooseberries. 



Heavy syrup, 2 pints sugar to 1 pint 

 water, used for special purposes, makes 

 what is practically a preserve of the 

 fruit. 



The amounts of sugar required to 

 make a light syrup sutlicient for can- 

 ning one bushel of material are as 

 follows: Peaches, 3% pounds; logan- 

 berries, C pounds; raspberries, 5 

 pounds; blackberries, 4V2 pounds; 

 sweet cherries, bV-i pounds; pie cher- 

 ries, 2% pounds; strawberries, 5% 

 pounds; plums, 3 pounds.
