THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
Add vitamin C to newly opened jar to detoxify ergot mold (¼ tsp.
per pint).
Jams and jellies. They are not safe unless homemade.
Fruit syrup. Use one package frozen fruit, such as cherries,
blueberries or raspberries. Let thaw and measure the amount in
cups (it might say on the package). Add an equal amount of
clover honey to the fruit. Also add ¼ tsp. vitamin C powder. Mix
it all in a quart canning jar and store in the refrigerator. Use this
on pancakes, cereal, plain yogurt and homemade ice cream too.
Use to make your own flavored beverages in a seltzer maker or
to make soda pop. If you wish to use fresh fruit, bring it to a boil
to sterilize. Use it up in a few days or boil to sterilize it again.
Note for diabetics
Diabetics must not use artificial sweeteners. Nor can they use
all the sweeteners listed. Try stevia powder instead.
Preserves..................................................................................
Keep 3 or 4 kinds on hand, such as peach, pineapple, and
pear. Peel and chop the fruit. It should not have any bruises. If
you use a metal knife, rinse the fruit lightly afterwards. Add just
enough water to keep the fruit from sticking as it is cooked
(usually a few tablespoons). Then add an equal amount of honey,
or to taste and heat again to boiling. Put in sterile jars in
refrigerator. Make marmalade the same way, slicing the fruit and
peel thinly. Always add vitamin C powder to a partly used jar to
inhibit mold. Never use up partly molded fruit by making
preserves out of it. Throw it out.
