used per cup of juice; thus saving

Questions concerning problems
Of Jelly such as causes of crystals
in Jelly were discussed. Crystals in
grape jelly are most often caused
by crystals Of potassium acid tar
trate in the grape Juice itself. To
correct this, allow che juice to
stand overnight SO crystals settle
to the bottom; and then pour juice
off carefully next day so crystals
are not disturbed or distributed
through the juice again.
Tough jelly results from too little
sugar; tough stringy jelly from
overlooking; soft jelly from too
much sugar; fermentation caused
by yeast or bacteria
The use Of new paraffin each
year; use of sterilized glasses, and
protection from contamination be-
fore sealing, all are steps to safe
guard against spoilage Of jelly or
jam.
A method Of making homemade
pectin was demonstrated to this
group Of women, and also how to
use 1t. Recipes for various jellies
and jams were also given and de-
monstrated.
