Tartaric acid may cause crystals in grape jelly but this can usu­ ally be prevented by letting grape juice stand in a cold place before making into - jelly. The crystals will settle to the bottom and the juice may be carefully drained off, 13. Q. What makes jelly weep? A. Weeping occurs in fruits high in acid. This is though to be caused by a, contraction of the jelly mass which squeezes out..liquid, similar to the separa­ tion of the whey from the curd of milk. If dribbles of jelly are not wiped off inside of the glass above the jelly level, the para­ fin will not form a good seal and weeping may result. A slightly moistened clean cloth should be used to do this.

Examples of are sour apples, crabapples, berries, currants, gooseberries, grapes, and sour plums. Most other fruits are lacking in either pectin or acid, but may be com­ bined with fruits having a high pectin and high acid content. 4. Q. How ripe should fruit be when made into jelly? A. A mixture of about equal parts of slightly underripe fruit, which contains more pectin, and fully ripe fruit, which has better flavour, is considered best. - 5. Q. How can you test, for pec­ tin? A. Boil the fruit juice for 3 minutes. Then measure 1 tea­ spoon fruit juice and 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol into a small dish. Blend quickly together and let stand 3 seconds. If a jelly- like mass or clot is formed, the juice contains sufficient pectin. The sugar may then be added. 6. Q. What determines the quan­ tity of sugar to be used in jelly­ making? A. The amount of pectin de­ termines the amount of sugar. % of a cup of-sugar is allowed for each cup extracted, unless a heavy clot is formed in the pec­ tin test. The heavy clot shows that the juice is rich in pectin, and 1 cup of sugar of extracted juice be used. 7. Q. Should jelly slowly or rapidly? A. Jelly should be boiled rapidly, otherwise the pectin may be destroyed by long slow cook­ ing. 8. Q. How can you tell when the jellying point is reached? A. Dip a spoon into the syrup and allow some of the syrup to runn off the edge of the spoon. When drops form and flow to form a“sheet”, the jelly stage is reached. The jelly should then be removed from the heat im­ mediately. 9. Q. Why does jelly sometimes fail to set? A. There may be several rea­ sons for this: (1) Using over-ripe fruit or fruit (2) Too time. ( 3) Too portion to the amount of pectin and acid. (4) Too much water used in extracting the juice. 10. Q. What makes jelly tough? A. Jelly may become tough if too little sugar for the amount of pectin and acid is used. Over­ cooking results in gumminess. 11. Q. Why is jelly not always clear? A. A cloudiness may result from improper straining, or by squeezing the bag. Too great a proportion of green fruit also cause cloudiness. 12. Q. What makes crystals in jelly? A. Crystals may result an excess of sugar, insufficient fruits make large make these cran- The jelly fish is one greatest exasperations of dian costal fishermen. It marketable and fouls up gear.
