Ing.
Fruit for Jelly Making.-The Juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple. crabapple. orange, kumquat and
currant, Is better suited for making
n natural fruit Jelly than juices from
other fruits. The juices from these
fruits contain the properties necessary
for jelly making. The best fruits for
Jelly making contain pectin and acid.
Pectin. the fundamental jelly-making
substance, does not exist In some fruits
In sufficient amount to make Jelly with
out the addition Of pectin from some
other source. The peach, strawberry
and cherry are examples Of fruits
which contain acid but are lacking In
pectin. Pear. guava and quince con-
tain pectIn but are deficient in acid.
II the missing property be added to
each Of these fruits. jelly with the
color and flavor Of the fruit selected
can be made.

fruit as berries, grapes and currants

TO help extract the juice. The fruit
Juice will flow more freely when heat

develops the pectin. As soon as the

to result In a cloudy Jelly. After cool

Quantity Of Juice to cook.-The

given for the inversion Of the sugar By
the acids Of the fruit and there is less
danger Of capitalization.
Cooking the JelIy.-After the sugar
has dissolved. the cooking should be as
rapid as possible. Finished jelly can
be obtained more quickly by rapid
cooking. Long cooking will tend to
darken the product and destroy the
pectin, which will cause the finished
Jelly to be less firm.
Since no definite temperature can be
given for the finished jelly. the most
convenient means Of determining when
It is finished is to test 1t with a spoon
or paddle. Dip spoon or wooden
paddle In the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving 1t back and forth
for few seconds and then allow the
Jelly to drop from 1t. As long as there
is sirup present 1t will run or drop
from the spoon. When the jellyine
point is reached. II will break from the
spoon In fakes or sheets. When this
jelly stage Is reached. remove from the
fire Immediately and skim. Swimming
at this point saves wnste.
Filling olasses.-After skimming the
Jelly, pour at once Into hot sterIlized
glasses and set aside to cool.
Cooling and sealine.-Cool as rapid
~ as possible, avoiding dust which will
give contamination with mold. When
the Jelly Is cold cover II with melted
paraffin. BY running a pointed stick
around the edge Of the glass while the
paraffin Is still hot, better seal can
be obtained.
Storino.-Jelly should be stored In a
cool, dark, dry place. II jelly is stored
for a long period of time. 1t will de-
teriorate In texture, color and flavor.
Mistakes to Avoid.-Soft Jelly.-Jel.
Hes sometimes are sirupy because more
sugar has been used than the fruit
juices require or because boiling after
the addition OF sugar was not con-
tinued long enough to drive off exces.
sive water.
Tough Jelly.-Jelly Is tough or
stringy because too small an amount
OF sugar was used for the quantity OF
fruit juice taken or because the boil.
Ing was continued after the jellyinq
point had been reached.
Crystals In Jelly.-Crystals appear
throughout the jelly because of an ex.
cess OF sugar. When sugar is boiled
with an acid for a sufficient length Of
time, 1t Is changed into form which
does not crystalline. Crystals are found
In jelly sometimes because the Juice
Is boiled to too great a concentration
before the addition Of sugar. or In boil.
Ing the slrup spatters on the side Of
the pan, dries, and In pouring the fin.
ished product these crystals are car
rled into the glasses Of jelly. and in
that way the jelly becomes seeded
with crystals.
Cloudy Jelly.-This may be due to
having cooked the fruit too long be-
fore strainlng OF the juice or to not
having used sufficient care in strain.
Ing the juice. Sometimes 1t is noticed
In apple and crabapple jelly that al.
though It is clear when first made, the
jelly becomes cloudy after time. In
these cases It usually Is due to the use
Of partly green fruit. the starch In this
fruit probably causing the cloudy ap-
pearance.
