Early in: July the good -housekeeper
begins to think of her' jelly and .jam Itis
a. great mistake to put` off making ourrapt
7elly till the end of the• season, for the beet
jelly is; made of currants not perfectly ripe.
Those used, for preserves; should befolly
ripe. Toa keep a light color in jelly, care
should be taken not to cook the anger long,
as, this will ,darken:the' fruit and cause: it t'o
" candy,! • Some personsare very ^encoess-
fel in • making currant jelly by merely
heating thesugar in the ov8n, and, after
the juice has boiled twenty minutes, adding
the; sugar and leaving it over the fire only
until the, snger is thoroughly dissolved.
This makes, the. jelly .. of a beautiful color
and delicate Savor, but it ie not usually so
}firm as thatmade by thecommon method
of boiling twenty 'minutes before, and ten,
after, the sugar is added„ . Do not "skimp•"
your sugar. A' pound•to a; pint is the only
safe rule. • •
The best jelly-bagismade. of neweannel.
Take a square of flannel and fold it to make
a double: three -cornered 'piece,; sew up one
side; this leaves•a'large ,opening by which
to put in;•the fruit, and the juice will all
run to the point; the weight of the fruit
preseing'itout. Do not squeeze+ the bag.
Very little juice can be gained in that way;
and what is will be of an inferior quality.
It will not pay for the labor.
Currant and apple jellies are the easiest.
to make, as they : are surest to . be firm.
-Apple mice: will helpto harden jellies that
Moline to be thin. Much, of the jelly in
the market is made from apple steak, 'with
flavoring -of 'various kinds` to justify the
labels attached. It would be well if noth,
ing more harmful were ever'ased.
A delicious raspberry jelly may be made
'by using one quart of currants to a,'pint .of
raspberries. •Pick over the fruit, leaving
the currants: on •the stem, but takingout all
leaves. ' Mash the ,currants and put them
over the fire to scald; then pour them hot
intoa bag. Take the juice that runs. out
at once and pour: over the raepberries.
