Velva Fruit
ISNeW

Velva fruit, the new frozen fruit
dessert with the smooth texture Of
ice cream, developed at the Western
Regional Research Laboratory Of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture for commercial manu-
facture, may be made at home
either in a hand freezer or in the
tray of a mechanical refrigerator.
Berries of several kinds, cherries,
red plums, cantaloups, peaches and
apricots may all be used for this
dessert. Mellow ripe fruit, too soft
for canning, is ideal for velva fruit,
because it has full flavor and color.
To make the dessert at home, first
wash the fruit, remove any pits,
crush and force through sieve or
potato ricer fine enough to remove
any seeds and skins. Save and use
all juice. Because apricots and
peaches darken on explosure to air,
they should be halved and put In
boiling dilute sugar syrup 90 per
cent? S minutes before sieving.
Ingredients, when tart fruit like
berries or plums are used, are:
cups sieved fruit; ~ cups sugar;
l teaspoon household gelatin; " tea
spoon salt. When less acid fruit
like peaches, cantaloups or apricots
are used, only / cup of sugar is
needed, but "a cup lemon juice is
added for tartness. Mix together
sieved fruit, sugar, salt and lemon
juice if used. Keep this mixture
cold while softening gelatin in cold
water and dissolving by heating 5
minutes over boiling water. Stir
dissolved gelatin into fruit sugar
mixture.
Rapid freezing is recommended,
because it gives a smoother texture.
In a hand freezer, freeze like ice
cream, using / part salt to parts
ice. The mixture takes Is or 20
minutes Of turning to freeze. Re-
move dasher and pack to harden,
using 3 parts ice to l part salt, and
draining off water as ice melts.
In refrigerator trays, leave the
mixture to freeze overnight. Re-
move In the morning, break into
small chunks with spoon, then whip
smooth in chilled bowl with egg
beater, and return to refrigerator
for final freezing. Velva fruit made
in the refrigerator Is not as smooth
as that made in q hand freezer.
One quart of the mixture freezes
to about IL quarts of velva fruit.

trate) in the Jelly. These crystals
are harmless but give the jelly an
Objectionable, gritty texture. One
preventive method Is to let the
grape juice stand overnight in a
cold place to permit the precipita-
ton of crystals. The next morning
dip the Juice out carefully and re-
strain 1t. The crystals remain with
the sediment on the bottom and
sides Of the container Another
method is to can the Juice and allow
1t to stand for some time for cry
stalls to form before making up the
jelly. Still another is to combine
the grape juice with other fruit
juices"
As for salvaging jelly which has
crystallized, I have no idea that this
can be done. The only suggestion
I can make Is that It might be used
in sauces for puddings, that is, nqui-
fed gradually over hot water and
perhaps combined with little wine.
I am not 'up" enough on jelly
making to of1er any other sugges-
ton. I may add, however, that my
mother never had any trouble with

perhaps it was because she could
never make jelly the same day she
extracted the juice-there were too
many children to care and cook for!
