A CANNING BUDGET FOR FIVE
Plans insuring an adequate supply and pleasing variety of fruit and vegetable foods for the winter months have been worked out by women in many States who have acted on the advice of home demonstration agents.
These take the form of canning budgets which often include meats and poultry products and fruit and vegetables required during the winter months for well-balanced meals. By following such a budget a housewife has the satisfaction of a wisely stocked pantry, and she saves time, energy and money. The budget used in Arkansas provides fruit and vegetables for a family of five for six months.
Under this plan the housewife would can 72 quarts of tomatoes to be used three times a week; 12 quarts of carrots, 24 of beets, 48 of string beans, 24 of okra, and 24 each of sauerkraut, corn, English peas, and soup mixture. The fruit would be divided into 72 quarts each of peaches and blackberries, 48 of apples, 24 each of plums, pears, and fruit juices, and 12 quarts of huckleberries. An allowance of 1 pint of preserves and two glasses of jelly per week complete the canning budget.
