pound
saltpetre; 3 pounds granulated cane sugar; 6 gallons cold water
If brine gets
thick and ropy-like do not be alarmed. Take meat out and make a
new brine. You
may test brine by placing an egg or potato in same: if either
swims with a
portion out of brine, you will know your brine is strong enough
or as a test that
your salt is all right. Now leave your meat in brine from 20 to
60 days according
to the size of the pieces. Dry and smoke. |

After cherries are pitted, peaches peeled and halved, apples and
pears peeled and cored, berries picked and washed, the process of
canning is about the same for each. Put what fruit you think it
takes to fill jar into a stew kettle and add sugar in proportion
of 1 cup sugar to quart; add just a little water and put a lid
over it and let heat. While it is heating, prepare another the
same way and put back further from the fire. When the first fruit
has just reached the boiling point, fill the jar and seal,
leaving any little extra juice to start the next one. By this
time
the second kettle is brought over the fire and ready to
seal, making the work as fast as one person can attend to it. By
heating each can separately no fruit is overcooked. Tomatoes are
canned the
same way only adding a pinch of salt and letting boil for about a
minute.
Always use new jar rubbers for canned fruit. |

If quickly applied it will prevent inflammation besides relieving the stinging pain. Rust on steel may be removed by covering with sweet oil, rubbing it well and letting it stand for 48 hours: then rub the steel with unslaked lime finely powdered till all the marks have disappeared. Use a little ammonia in dishwater when washing glassware will make it sparkle like cut glass. Pour milk added to the water with which oil cloth or linoleum is washed will make it luster like new.
