SAVE SUGAR IN
MAKING OF JELLY

WASHINGTON, D. c., July O.
Much waste of sugar and spoilage
of jellies can be avoided by using
simple alcohol test recommended
by the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States department Of agriculture. To
determine how much sugar should be
used with each kind of juice put a
spoonful Of juice in a glass and add
to ii one spoonful of 95 per cent
grain alcohol, mixed by shaking the
glass gently. Pour slowly from the
glass noting how the peotin-the
substance in fruits which makes them
jell-is precipitated. If the peotin
is precipitated as one lump cup of
sugar may be used for each cup of
juice; If in several Jumps the proper
ton of sugar must he reduced to APP
proximately three-fourths the amount
of the juice. If the peotin is not in
Jumps but is merely precipitated, the
sugar should be one-half or less of
the amount of the juice. If the juice
shows no precipitation under this test
it is unfit for jelly making and must
be combined with apples or other
juices rich in peotin.
