§ 31 RASPBERRIES 



"The raspberries after cooking were simmered in 

 the same water. Sugar was added and after twenty- 

 five minutes' cooking was complete. The raspber- 

 ries were very tasty but not attractive in coloring, 

 being a purplish-brown shade. 



§ 32 — PEACHES 



"The peaches were treated similarly to the rasp- 

 berries except that forty-five minutes were required 

 for soaking. Flavor and appearance were excel- 

 lent. 



§ 33 — RHUBARB 



"The rhubarb required an hour and a half to 

 soak and was then cooked in boiling water for forty- 

 five minutes, sugar being added from time to time. 

 Very good flavor and appearance were obtained. 



§ 34 — RESULTS 



"The results, with the exception of the string 

 beans, were most satisfactory. As was remarked 

 in the report of a test of other dried vegetables pre- 

 viously submitted these articles are a nearer ap- 

 proach to the fresh than any other which have been 

 tried at this station. In all cases, string beans in- 

 cluded, they are as good as canned goods and of 

 course require less storage room aboard ship." 



This remarkable report covered dehydrated fruits 

 and vegetables as they were. prepared four years ago.
