Why chocolate turns white when overheated
The text explains that chocolate may turn white on the outside after being kept in an overwarm place. The white is a surface fat bloom from melted fat, not a sign of harm. Reheating or cooling does not injure the chocolate for use.
Canned Plums Provide Winter Fruit Options
A USDA guidance piece promotes canning plums as a versatile winter fruit. It notes plums suit whole or sauce forms, can be canned via cold or hot pack, with hot pack preferred, and gives processing times for jars and cans. It also mentions making plum butter and suggests obtaining Farmers' Bulletin 1471-F for full instructions.
Fruit Cup From Any Seasonal Fruits
The guide suggests making a fruit cup from any fruits on hand with orange or grapefruit for zest. Combine orange, grapefruit, banana, and apple in equal parts, add pineapple or canned peaches, pears, cherries, apricots, prunes, dates, figs, or nuts. Cut fruits small, keep pieces intact, and avoid stirring to prevent mushiness.
