Title: Grapefruit and Orange Sections
Categories: Fruits, Canning
Yield: 1 recipe

Quantity: An average of 15 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts;
an average of 13 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints–an average
of about 2 pounds yields 1 quart.

Quality: Select firm, mature, sweet fruit of ideal quality for eating
fresh. The flavor of orange sections is best if the sections are canned
with equal parts of grapefruit. Grapefruit may be canned without
oranges. Sections may be packed in your choice of water, citrus juice or
syrup.

Procedure: Wash and peel fruit and remove white tissue to prevent a
bitter taste. If you use syrup, prepare a very light, light, or medium
syrup and bring to boil. Fill jars with sections and water, juice or hot
syrup, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process.

Processing directions for canning grapefruit and orange sections in a
boiling-water, a dial, or a weighted-gauge canner are given in Table 1,
Table 2, and Table 3.

1 Cucumber
1 Extra large ripe tomato

8 ounces Container whipped cream

1 tablespoon To 2 salad dressing

Carrot peeler

With an adult’s help, use a carrot peeler to remove the cucumber skin. Discard
the skin and continue peeling long thin strips the entire length of the
cucumber
until you reach theseedy core. Set these strips aside. Dice the seedy core into
tiny pieces abo
You now need to remove the top of the tomato, much as you would the top of a
pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern. Ask an adult to do the following: Take a
paring knife and carefully poke it into the tomato, about 1 inch from the stem,
pointing the knife at a
Using a spoon, scoop out the tomato’s center, leaving a large, bowl shaped
space inside the tomato. Chop these tomato insides into tiny pieces, drain off
excess juice and add themto the cucumber.

Pull apart the pieces of string cheese into strips that are about the width of
a pencil. Cut each strip into thirds and set aside.

To make hornworms, use a butter knife to spread thin layers of cream cheese
onto each side of a cucumber strip. Then, using the cream cheese as a “glue”,
wrap the cucumber in a coiling fashion around a piece of string cheese, from
one
end of the cheese to
Blend the remaining cream cheese with one or two tablespoons of your favorite
salad dressing and stir into the cucumber and tomato. Spoon this into your

Place the tomato on the center of a plate. Ask an adult to use a paring knife
to carve out three or four holes the same diameter as the worms in various
places on the tomato. Carefully insert the worms into the holes and arrange
others on the plate. Serve
Sicko serving suggestion: Cover the plate with torn lettuce leaves and arrange
worms crawling through gnawed out holes. Use cream cheese to seal one worm
inside a folded leaf as if it had made a cocoon.
