The Art of Jelly Making

1t is just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces, peaches or
pears as from any other kind of fruit
if you know how, according to Miss
Addie ID. Root of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. All that is necessary
is to add enough tartaric or citric acid
to the juice TO make it taste about
as sour as a good sour apple. This
usually means about level teaspoon
full to a quart of juice. 1t destroys
the delicate flavor of peach and pear
juices somewhat, but improves the
flavor of sweet apple and ounce
juice.
Blackberries, blueberries, raspber-
ries, partially ripe grapes, crab APP
Piles and plums usually make good
Jelly because they have enough acid
already and also contain a substance
called pectin, which must be present
and must be brought out with the
juice by heating if jelly is to be made.
That is why jelly-makers do not
simply press out the juice from cold
fruit. All apples and similar fruits
have enough pectin for jelly-making
i purposes.
In making apple jelly cover the
4 fruit with water before cooking and
/ boil twenty or thirty minutes. After
boiling has continued ten or fifteen
minutes add about three-quarters of
cup of sugar for every cup of juice.
The sugar that will be required should
have been measured into a pan and
warmed in the oven for a while before
it is added. 1t should be carefully
stirred in to prevent burning.
AS soon as the glasses are filled
with the hot jelly they should be set
in cool place while jellying takes
place. They should be sealed from
the air, but if the jelly has been
slightly overlooked it may be covered
with panes of glass and allowed to
harden in the sun. When it is well
set pour hot paraffin over the top and
put clean tin covers on the glasses.
/ Store them away in dry, cool place
where the jelly cannot mold.

Seasonings

A Glove of garlic is one section OF
the root.
Parsley should be minced and add
ed at the last moment.
A pinch of salt is an eighth of a
teaspoonful.
If only a mild onion flavor is desir-
ed. parboil the onion before adding it.
Make little cheesecloth bags of
herbs, well blended, for soups and
stews. The bags can be withdrawn
when the flavor has been sufficiently
extracted.

To Cook Spinach

Spinach is a standby at all times
of the year. 1t can be prepared in
many ways, but the basis of them all
is the first careful looking over, wash
ing and boiling.
AS a rule, the spinach, after wash
ing. contains enough water to start
the boiling. after which it will boil in
its own liquid.
Special care should be taken in the
drainage, because nothing is more un-
appetizing than a wet, soggy mass of
spinach. tt~shoulX always be drained
in colander an after finfo can eithl{
er be cut with knife or TubbeS
through coarl sieve.
The simplest Way to serve spinach
is to drain well season with pepper,
salt and a little butter. Boil two eggs
hard and slice Oh ger the top and serve
hot
! SsSipach and Cream.-one quart
Sinacf. one tablespoonful butter
three tablespoonfuls of cream, pepper
and salt. After the spinach has been
boiled, and passed through a wire
sieve, make the butter hot in sauce
pan, add the spinach, pepper and salt
to taste. Stir it over the fire and
add the cream. III cream is not avail
able, white sauce may be used instead.
Spinach and Poached Eggs.-Pre-
pare and cream the spinach as in the
preceding recipe, put into a fiat dish
and lay three poached and well drain
ed eggs on the top and garnish with
croutons Of fried bread.
Spinach and Gravy.-One quart
spinach, one tablespoonful butter, one
tablespoonful flour, four tablespoon
fuls good gravy, pepper and salt. Pre-
pare the spinach as usual. Stir the
-four with the butter in saucepan for
two minutes. Add the spinach, pep
per and salt to taste, and as much
gravy as possible, without making it
soft. Stir over the fire until very hot.
Dish and garnish with croutons.
