Expert Tells How Best .Resuits May
Be Achieved and Explains Some \
} Of the Reasons Why Product
Is a Failure.

Now that the jelly-making season IL
here It reminds us that so many
people who are recognized cooks have
so poor an idea of good Jelly. What
is perfect jelly as we know 1t to-day?
Some of us must learn to change our
ideas in that regard. AS Judge Of
foods at the state fair and county in
stitutes where women are supposed
to bring their best we infer that jelly
making is comparatively an undiscov.
cred art. Flavor, transparency and
consistency are the points to be con-
sidered. Hundreds of women have
their jellies (good to them) passed by
and cannot understand the reason.
One great fault is that the judging Is
often done by incompetent people; an
otherwise fine cook may be an ex-
tremely poor Judge Of jelly, and the
standard of good Jelly is what the
Judge has made It from year to year
Secure a Judge who has had training
and is recognized as authority, then
follow her advice and the prize may
be yours next year. II every person
who enters an exhibit understands the
score card and Is not satisfied until
she understands the standard of good
jelly and knows why she did or did
not receive the blue or red ribbon
jelly making in that community will
be improved So much has been said
Of exhibits. as they are great incen-
tive in the rivalry which they create.
Now, then, how are we to tell per-
feet jelly when we see 1t? First, 1t
must be well favored. clear and Of
Just the consistency to stand and
keep the form Of the mold when
turned out. A quivering mass Of
transparent color.
A few reasons why some people
cannot have good jelly. The fruit may
be over-ripe, or picked after heavy
rains. It may be cooked too long, or
squeezed through the jelly bag or not
well SKINNED while cooking.
Jelly that seems very thin may by
standing in the sunlight for day
or two, be well thickened. When cold,
pour over melted paraffin to preserve
from germs and mold.
Some fruits are hard to jelly, as
they lack the pectin. which is the gel
atine Of the fruit. To such fruits as
strawberries and peaches. which lack
this principle. currant and apple will
supply the lack.
