Kitcheneer club has meat-canning demonstration

Steamboat Springs — Savory, appetizing, ready-to-serve meats on the pantry shelf are what members of the Kitcheneer home demonstration club will have with the instructions given to them by Miss Esther Elliot at the home of Mrs. John See last Friday. The making and canning of liver sausage was undertaken in the morning before serving a lunch of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, pecan rolls, vegetable salad with whipped cream, pickles, pie and coffee.

Miss Elliot said the liver sausage requires a 1 pound loaf of white bread, one pint of milk, 1/2 pound butter, 5 eggs and 2 1/2 pounds liver, one can of mushrooms and one small can of pimento. The bread should be dry enough to grind in the food chopper. The butter is added to the scalded milk and mixed with the bread. The five eggs are beaten and added. While this mixture soaks, the liver is ground with the fine knife of the chopper and then pressed through a fine sieve to remove the tendons. Next are the mushrooms and pimento, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

This amount is sufficient to fill 3-quart jars and will keep indefinitely if canned in the proper manner and stored in a cool place.

Miss Elliot canned a jar of sausage at the Friday meeting of the Kitcheneers with several jars of beef, pork, veal and chicken. The portions selected for canning were not the high-priced or tender pieces but rather the cheaper cuts.

"Only fresh, carefully prepared meat should be used for canning. All meat should be cooled two or three days after butchering before it is canned," Miss Elliot said.

Miss Elliot estimated that the three quarts of liver sausage, including all ingredients, cost 88 cents if everything is purchased at the regular retail prices.

Ute council confers to establish treaty claims

The Ute Indians met in council recently to confer with government officials regarding their claims on the original agreement with them in 1880. Their claims rest on the original treaty and later agreements in which the Utes were to be reimbursed at $1.25 per acre for the land they ceded, as rapidly as the land was deeded to settlers by homestead or by purchaser. It is claimed that there are large sums due to the Utes under this treaty and subsequent agreements.
