Red Julce-For red Juice, the
crushed grapes are heated to about
200 degrees Fahrenheit before the Juice
is separated from the pulp and then
strained through n clean cloth or drip
bag without pressure. Thereafter, the
process is the same us for light-colored
juice.
Grape Juice should be stored away
in bottles or jars that are not too large,
for after these have been opened the
juice Is likely to spoil. If properly
made, however, the juice should keep
Indefinitely us long as 1t Is kept In
sealed bottles.

mixture In a kettle or vat vigorously
for five minutes. Pour the liquid into
vessels, preferably glass jars or pitch
ers; allow to stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
liquid into preserving kettle. Do not
allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add
to the clear liquid one level teaspoon

eter is not available. boil until bulk is
reduced to one-seventh Of the original
volume. To determine whether the
sirup is cooked enough test as for
candy-by pouring little into cold
water. If boiled enough it should have
the consistency Of maple sirup. 1t
should not be cooked long enough to
harden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the slrup

to cool slowly. Slow cooling is i'm

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Various fruit juices may be prepared
in the home and bottled for future use.
Practically any fruit may be used In
the first recipe following.
Sterilized Fruit Juices.-The fruit
juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of cider press, special fruit
press, or other improvised presses; then
heated in an acid-proof kettle up to
40 degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit Juice
may then be poured into ordinary hot
jars, hot bottles, or tin cans, and ham
died by the same directions as those
for canning Of fruit itself. If poured
into miscellaneous bottles, it Is sug-
gested that the fruit juice be sterilized
as follows:
Make n cotton stopper and press
into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles in boiling hot water I'D to the
neck of the bottle, sterilizlng the fruit
juice for 30 minutes at simmering
temperature (165 degrees Fahrenheit).
Remove the product. press cork in top
over cotton stopper Immediately. If the
cork fits well, no paraffln need be used.
If a poor cork, it may be necessary tn
dip the cork In melted solution Of wax
or paraffin. Fruit juices and apple
cider when handled in this way will
not "natten in taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.
Grape Juice by Two-Day Method
For home use there are large num-
ber Of varieties of grapes which will
make pleasant and healthful drink.
No matter what the kind Of grippe,

however, 1t is far safer to process them
both to insure sterilization and tight
seal. Process pints for 80 minutes at
simmerlng (S7 degrees Centigrade or
1888 degrees Fahrenheit).
Berry Jam.-In selecting berries for
jam the ripe, broken ones will give
fine color and flavor, but about one
half the quantity should be slightly un-
derripe. This is necessary to give
jelly-like consistency to the product.
Cooking In small quantities. also helps
to retain color and flavor. Weigh the
berries and allow three-fourths of n
pound Of sugar to each pound Of fruit.
Rapid cooking with constant care Is
essential. H~
Peach Jam.-Two and one-quarter
pounds peaches cut into small pieces.
one pound sugar, six whole allspice,
one cracked peach seed, one inch GIN
ger root, one-half cupful peach juice,
one-half teaspoonful whole cloves. one
teaspoonful cinnamon bark, one sprig
mace. (Tie spices in cheesecloth bag.)

cook in water until very tender. After
rubbing the pulp through sieve,
weigh it and add the required amount
Of sugar. It is then cooked until very
thick. Scalded and chopped nut ker-
nels may be added. The pulp remain
ing after the Juice has been extracted

CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Jams are made of small fruits which
,re not whole or firm enough to use
for preserves. No attempt is made
to retain the original shape of the
fruit, the finished product having a
uniform consistency. Marmalades have
n more jellylike texture and thin slices
of the fruit appear suspended through
out the mixture. In fruit buffers and
pastes frequently less sugar Is used
than in jams and the product is more
concentrated. Conserves may be made
of large or small fruits, cooked In
the same manner as jams. Sometimes
nuts are added.
In stirring jams use wooden spoon
or paddle, moving 1t across the CEN
ter of the vessel first one way and then
the opposite and next around the pan,
gently moving the mixture from the
bottom Of the pan, being careful not
TO stir rapidly or beat. Cook the jam
to 1O5 degrees Centigrade or III de-
grees Fahrenheit, If thermometer Is
used.
If cooking or chemical thermome-
fer ia available more accurate results
can be obtained by its use. The prop
or condition Of the cooked fruit can
he determined approximately, how
ever. without the use Of such instru-
ments. For determining when they
are finished most jams may be given
,he same test as finished Jelly; that
is. when little is held moment and
cooled in spoon, 1t will not pour from
the side of the spoon, but will fall In
n sheet or flake. This is not true OF
INNS made of peaches. cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits not contain

using such fruits, cook until the Jam
