Gardening

“himself” corresponds with an
ex-prisoner-of-war friend who
lives in England, but in the North,
where he must raise tomatoes in a
greenhouse. He was interested that
we make juice from a lot of our
tomatoes, particularly the later
ripening ones which are often far
from perfect, but still make good
eating.

He asked if he might have a
recipe for it, and I wondered if it
might also appeal to some of you
who have a super abundance of
tomatoes.

The Recipe: Using a large pot,
put in as many tomatoes as you
have, adding water halfway up the
fruit. Now you will need to use a
bit of judgment as to amounts. Ina
nine quart pot, half-full of tomat-
oes, I add one heaping teaspoon of
pepper, four tablespoons of vine-
gar, one small onion, chopped, a
handful of celery tops, and several
sprigs of parsley, cut small (1 use
the scissors for this). Finally add
one bay leaf, and bring your fruit
to the boil.

Cook gently until all the vegeta-
bles are soft enough to be forced
through your food mill...about 30
minutes should do it. When this
juice has cooled we pour it into
well-washed milk cartons, and
freeze it, to remind us of summer,
when winter winds whistle up a
storm.

I have some wonderful news for
you...that sale held at the home of
Phyllis Cox yielded the Saanich
Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary the
handsome sum of $1,348.75.

Phyllis was quick to point out
that many of the garden items did

hot come from her garden alone,
but also from gardens of other
members of the Auxiliary.

These gals also showed up wear-
ing their uniforms to assist with
the sale...it all seemed a most
impressive effort to the likes of
me! Congratulations ladies!

Gay M. asked why her nectar-
ines (the tree espaliered against the
South wall of the house) this year
bore fruit that was both small and

hard as iron. She and her husband
were seriously considering taking
it out! I was horrified...one of my
fondest dreams is to be the proud
owner of a nectarine tree!

I suggested that it might be lack

df water, since we have had one of
the driest summers on record.
Then I consulted a man whose
knowledge I rely upon absolutely,
asking him what he thought the
trouble might be.

Dick figured the problem stems
from a lack of fertilizer. This
should be applied toward the end
of February, in holes sunk around
the tree out at the drip line, and it
really should be done every year. I
will try to remind you of this early
next spring when I will be fertiliz-
ing Our fruit trees.

Does anyone have a recipe for
quince anything...by that I mean,
jelly, jam, bottled, pickled or fro-
zen fruit? I distinctly remember
my Mother making quince jelly,
but was too young at that time to
recall how she went about it.

I think if my caller (who has an
abundance of as-yet unripe fruit)
would cook up the quince in a
small amount of water, and then,
when the pulp is soft, drain it
through a jelly bag, she would end
up with juice.

This could then be boiled with
an equal amount of sugar until it
reached the jelly stage, then bot-
tled as you would any jam.

It seems to me it made excep-
tionally delectable jelly, especially

THE REALITY OF
THE RESURRECTION
The resurrection is the very
centre of the Christian’s hope.
As the apostle Paul said in Cor.
15:17, “if Christ is not raised,
your faith is in vain, and you are
still in your sins.” He continued,
in v. 19: “If in this life only, we
have hope, we are of all men
most miserable.” These are
strong words. Paul is saying that
if Christ did not rise from the
dead, our faith would be worth-
less. The teachings of Christ, if
it were possible to separate
them from the teachings of the
resurrection, would be no better
than any other philosophy. But
the resurrection, the teachings
of Christ cannot be compared to
any other philosophy or religion

eternal life. —

The resurrection of Jesus is
proof that God’s promises to the
believer are sure — for a new
everlasting life has been prom-
ised to those who walk faithfully
after baptism into his name.
Paul explains it this way in 1
Cor. 15:22-26 “For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive. But every man in
his order: Christ the first fruits;
afterward they that belong to
Christ at his coming. Then
comes the end, when he shall
have delivered up the Kingdom
to God, even the Father; when
he shall have put down all rule
and authority and power. For he
must reign, until he hath put all
enemies under his feet. And the
last enemy that shall be dest-
royed is death.” So we see how
the resurrection figures in God’s
plan: first Jesus was resurrect-
ed; then, at his return, all who
belong to Christ; and finally at
the end of the Kingdom, the
destruction of death itself takes
place.

Jesus was raised from the
dead, and all that hinges on that
event will similarly become a
reality.
