General Rules for Preserving Fruit.

1. LET everything used for the purpose
be delicately clean and dry; bottles espe-
cially so.
2. Never place preserving pan f1t
upon the fire, as this will render the pre-
serves liable TO burn to, as it is called that
is to say, adhere closely to the metal, and
then burn it should rest always on a
trevet, or or the lowered bar of the kitchen
range.
3. After the sugar is added to them, stir
the preserves gently at first, and more
quickly towards the end, without quitting
them until they are done; this precaution
will always prevent the chance of their
being spoiled.
4. All preserves should be perfectly
cleaned from the scum as it rises.
8. Fruit which is TO be preserved in
syrup must first be blanched, or boiled
gently, until it is sufficiently softened to
absorb the sugar and a thin syrup must
be poured ON it at first, or it will shrivel
instead of remaining plump and becoming
clear. Thus, if its weight of sugar is to
be allowed, and boiled to a syrup, with
pint Of water to the pound, only half the
weight must be taken at first, and this
must not be boiled with the water more
than fifteen or twenty minutes at the com
mencement of the process a part of the
remaining sugar must be added every time
the syrup is rebOiled, unless it should be
otherwise directed by the receipt.
O. To preserve both the true flavor and
color of fruit both in jams and jelies, boil
them rapidly until they are we'll reduced,
before the sugar is added and quickly af
terward, but do not allow them 20 become
so thickened that the sugar will not dis
solve in them easily and throw up its
scum. In some seasons, the juice is so
much richer than others, that this effect
takes place almost before one is aware of
it but the drop which adheres to the
skinner, when it is held up, will show the
state it has reached.
!. Never use tin, iron or pewter spoons;
or skimmers for preserves, as they will
convert the color of red fruit into dingy
purple, and impart, besides, very un-
pleasant flavor.
8. When cheap jams or jellies are re-
quired, make them at once with loaf sugar,
but use that which is SceH refined always,
for preserving in general; it is false
economy to purchase an inferior kind, as
there is a great waste from it in the guam
tity of scum which it throws up.
8. Pans of copper or bell-metal are the
proper utensils for preserving fruit-when
used, they must be secured bright with
s'nd. Timed pans turn, and destroy the
color of the fruit that is put into them.
There is now sort of stew pan made of
iron coated with earthenware (porcelain),
which is very nice for preserving. Mrs.
Hale.
