Follow Instructions When You Make Jelly
BETTY BARCLAY
Maybe you believe you cook ’’by
instinct" — some housewives with
years of practice seem to do so.
(But that’s not the way to make
jelly. Even the best of the ‘‘a little
of this and a pinch of that” cooks
(find it necessary to follow tested
( roclp«s carefully in order to make
perfect jurnB and Jellies.
1 No one should gamble with fresh
fruit, sugar, and other jelly making
ingredients. Why do it when it’s
iso easy to follow scientific lnstruc-
tions which insure luscious jellies
.and jams, with all the color and
flavor of the fresh ripe fruit? Here,
'for example, are tested recipes
which will lead straight to success
with America’s favorite homemade
spread.
Strawberry Jam
4 cups prepared fruit
- 7 cups sugar
Vi bottle fruit pectin
To prepare the fruit. Crush thor¬
oughly about 2 quarts fully ripe
strawberries. Measure 4 cups into
