,'.FOOD for
FRUIT BUTTER -- easier now in
the microwave
Many of the soft fruits such as
apples, peaches, plums and pears
can be made into fruit butter. This
spicy fruit spread was a favorite of
grandmas but took at least 2 hours
with a lot of stirring and messy
bubbling. It's much easier now in
the microwave.
Put the cooked fruit through a
food mill so you have a consistency
of applesauce, add sugar (about A
to V2 cup for each cup of fruit),
about two teaspoons of spices --
(for example, use 1 teaspoon cin-
namon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, V2
teaspoon pump,in pie spice or nut-
meg) for each quart of sauce.
Cook ! quart at a time for 35 to 40
minutes m a 2 quart covered
casserole, stirring after each 10
minutes until desired thickness is
obtained. The sauce can then be
stored for a short time in the re-
frigerator, frozen or canned in a
boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Do 1 have to process my pickles?
Will processing make them soft?
We do recommend that you
process pickles in a boiling water
bath. This procedure is used to
destroy organisms that cause
spoilage and to inactivate the en-
zymes that may affect flavor, color
and texture. If you process pickles
..you should have less spoilage and if
good recipe and flesh produce are
"dsed, processing should not make
them soft.
Fermented cucumbers (those
that are brined in a crock for 2 or 3
weeks) and fresh pack dills are
timed differently than other boiling
water bath foods. You place the hot
filled jars into the actively boiling
water and start counting time im-
mediately, instead of waiting for
the water to return to a boil.
The biggest risk you take when
you avoid processing pickles is the
loss of the pickles by spoilage. If
you have used at least a 1 to 1 ratio
of vinegar to water for fresh pack
dills, you should have a safe
product. Safe, not necessarily free
from spoiling.

Can I freeze potatoes?
There are very few ways to
freeze potatoes at home. The com-
mercial potato freezing plants use
special methods and preservatives
that aren't available for home use.
You can french-fry potatoes until
cooked but not brown, drain, cool,
and package for the freezer. You
can also do a baked potato, fluff it
with milk and butter or margarine
and freeze. Scalloped potatoes can
also be successfully frozen. These
are the only methods that produce
acceptable quality when freezing
potatoes at home.

Idle Gossip
Turn off the ignition if
you expect to be idling
for more than one minute.
Restarting the engine wastes
less gasoline than idling for
a minute or more.
cod are excellent choices for pick- L
ling and are available here in
Oregon. Just ask for PNW 183-Fish

An idling engine can use
anywhere from one pint
to one quart of gasoline
every 15 minutes, depend-
ing on the size of the
engine. In cold weather,
start the engine and drive
away--slowly. Don't idle the
engine to let it warm up. An
engine will warm up more
quickly while driving than
by idling.
There's one fact you
can't escape: cold-engine
starts tend to use more
gasoline than starting in
warm weather or after the
engine is already warm.
A car that gives you 131/
miles per gallon in 70 ° F
weather may give you only
3 miles per gallon when it is
first started cold. In 10 ° F
weather, the fuel loss is even
greater.
And never fill your gas-
oline tank to the brim. Over-
filling causes spillage, and
leaves no room for expan-
sion when the ear warms
up. So stop pumping
gasoline when the automatic
nozzle vaJve closes.

Lynda Danielson is into hot water.
But it could save PGE customers
more than $5 million a year.
This year, Lynda
Danielson and other PGE
senior citizen representa-
tives could help save our
customers more than $5
million. With the help of
area senior citizens, they
are preparing to distribute
free water flow restrictors
to be mailed to every PGE
residential customer
beginning in September.
The energy-saving
restrictors
can reduce
the average
water flow
in a shower
from five to three gallons a
minute. That means less
hot water is being used.
And less electricity.
If every PGE residential
electric water heater
customer installed the
restrictors, it could save
more than 170 million
kilowatt hours a year. And
that savings will help
everyone. Because every
kilowatt-hour saved means
one less that has to be
supplied by new,
higher-cost
generation.
Electricity costs are
going up everywhere, it's
not just here. Both private
and public utilities
throughout the country are
facing soaring prices.
Higher equipment costs,
fuel costs and interest rates
have everyone on a tight
budget. And the rapid
growth of new customers in
our service area is another
strain on our existing
supply.
But, at PGE, we are fortu-
nate to have people like
Lynda Danielson working
hard to keep costs down
wherever they can. People
who care.
