MAKES A GOOD COMBINATION.
Prunes and Oranges for Jam Are
Highly Recommended.

Prunes and oranges make a good
combination for jam. Get the large
sized prunes, if possible, wash them
thoroughly in both hot and cold water,
then cut from the pit Put the fruit
through meat chopper. To each
cupful of chopped prunes take a cup
full of cut oranges.
Put in the grated rind of one-half
of the oranges used, then peel and cut
them in small pieces. Good California
prunes will sweeten themselves, but
with the orange they will require
some sugar. A large tablespoonful of
sugar to each cupful Of orange will
be sufficient If the oranges are fairly
sweet ones. To two cupfuls of prunes
add one-half cupful of water. Stir all
we'll together and stand on the back
of the range in a tightly covered ket-
tie or crock.
Do not let it get too hot, but 1t
may remain at simmering heat halt
day or longer with frequent stir
rings and hastings, when it will be
ready to pack in the jars.
