SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
MAKING OF JELLIES
Mrs. Mary P. Van ZiIe of the State
Agricultural College Gives Some
? Timely Hints to Kansas
Housewives.

The process OF Jelly making seems
simple and yet 1t is frequentl- at
tended by uncertain results because
the why of jelly making is not un-
derstood. There are several factors
to be considered and It is the under
standing or misunderstanding of these
that leads to success or failure
Fruit juice consists OF water in
which are dissolved vegetable acids,
sugar, f1avoring materials, and in
some fruits, a substance called pee
tin The substance pectin is essen
tial to the Jelly making process. It
is present in different proportions in
the different fruit juices which ex-
plain why some fruit juices ~'jeIT' so
much more readily than others The
juice must also contain some acid.
The ideal jelly making juice IS rich
in. pectin, and is fairly acid e. g.
currant, partly ripened grape, plum,
etc. If a fruit juice is rich in pectin
but deficient in acid as is the straw
berry, sweet apple, pear, peach, etc.
it is possible TO make Jelly from it
by adding vegetable acid (citric or
tartaric) to the mixture. The exact
amount to be added must be deter
mined by experiment because the de-
gree Of acidity varies even in the
same kind Of fruit
Another important consideration Is
the proportion of sugar TO the juice
Probably more failures in jelly max
ing are due to an incorrect proper
ton of sugar than to any other one
thing.
1t is not safe to blindIy follow the
rule of a measure of juice to meas
ure of sugar because a given volume
of juice contains 4 certain quantity
OF pectin in solution and this guam
tity Of pectin is capable of utiliz-
ing a definite proportion Of sugar

The time when the sugar should be
added to the juice is also an i'm

periments indicate that the best re-
suits are obtained when the sugar is
added (hot) near the end Of the pro-
cess. It is a chemical fact that sugar
