TOEMEMBER how we used to be
amused at the bride whose jelly
wouldn’t Jell and whose bread
wouldn’t rise? Well, cooking fail-
ures are no longer funny! Wasting
precious time and materials these
days amounts to a cardinal sin.
One important thing for jelly
makers to keep in mind, is that
natural fruit pectin — available in
bottled or powdered form. — will
take the gamble out of jelly mak-
ing. Try strawberries with short-
boil directions and you will be de-
lighted with the perfection of your
homemade spreads. The boiling
time is only a minute for jams and
a half-minute for jellies. This meth-
od will retain the fine, rich flavor
of fully ripe berries.
STRAWBERRY MARMALADE
l 4 cups prepared fruit
W:; *7 cups sugar *
f: V2 bottle fruit pectin
1 To prepare fruit, peel off yellow
rind of 2 medium oranges and 2
medium lemons with sharp knife,
leaving as much of the white part
on the fruit as possible. Put yel-
low rinds through food chopper.
Add V2 cup water and % teaspoon
soda, bring to a boil, and simmer,
covered, 10 minutes. Cut off tight
skin of peeled fruit and Slip pulp
out of each section. Add pulp and
juice to rind and simmer, covered,
20 minutes longer. Crush thor-
oughly or grind about 1 quart fully
ripe strawberries. Combine fruits.
Measure sugar and prepared fruit
into large kettle, filling up last cup
with water if necessary and mix
well.
Bring to a full rolling boil over
hottest fire. Stir constantly before
and while boiling. Boil hard 1
minute.
Remove from fire and stir in fruit
pectin. Then stir and skim by
turns for just 5 minutes, to cool
slightly, to prevent floating fruit.
Pour quickly. Paraffin hot marma-
lade at once. Makes about 10
glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
*2 cups light corn syrup may be
substituted for 2 cups of the sugar.
