Juice for Later Jelly

When fruits are at the height of
their season and most abundant, the
home Gamer may not have the
sugar to make all the jelly she
wishes. She can, however, put up a
supply of juice to use later for jelly.
Jelly made from juice that has
been stored as long as six months
has as fine a texture as that made
from fresh fruit, home economists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture have found The color
and flavor may not be quite so dis
tinct, however. This is especially
the case with the juice from red
fruits, which lose color easily.
For making Jelly, juice is pre-
pared somewhat differently from
that canned for beverage use. Fruit
must be boiled rather than SIM
mered to draw out pectin for jelly,
and no sugar Is added.
A mixture Of slightly underripe
and ripe fruit makes the best juice
for jelly because the underripe fruit
gives more pectin and acid, and the
ripe fruit gives the full color and
flavor. Discard any damaged parts
Of the fruit. Wash thoroughly and
drain. Wash berries quickly and

Place this mixture on the fire In

Then add all the vegetable mixture

for about five minutes and then
pack In sterilized pint jars.
Since this pickle Is ready to eat
as soon as 1t is good and cold, keep
a little to one side, chill 1t in the
refrigerator and spring 1t as an i'm
mediate surprise, come dinner time.
Boy Scouts have been known to
make this pickle in larger lots, put
1t up in pint jars and get good prices
for it right in the ncighborhood.
Or, often as not, smart grocery
man or delicatessen dealer win put
dozen jars or so on display, espe-
cially IL neat little label has been
printed in ink and pasted on the lar.
1t might well be that a few Bow
Scouts plus a few Girl Scouts might
surprise some of the old folks who
think they know all there is to know
about business. ~

Victory Garden Pickles

Your old Aunt Minnie or your
Grandma Jones probably never gave
thought to such a thing as a Vic
tory garden, but If you look through
their old household books you're apt
to find some handy recipes-things
which they did with the tomatoes
and the cucumbers and other gar
den sass" when the folks had their
fill of. green "vittles"
Last year about this time, found
such recipe which an aunt of mine
out in Oregon had used for many
years. 1t is a homemade catsup
recipe, used long before one could
get to the store and buy a bottle of
catsup without thought. Now that
more than a thought Is required
little matter of 80 points all told
we think 1t would be a good idea to
try the old recipe.
This catsup is entirely different
from what one gets at the store,
and this is not belittling the store
product these days!
For trial batch, assemble the
following ingredients:
2 gallons of cut-up ripe tomatoes.
Remove any inedible portions.
4 cups of dry onions, chopped fine.
4 cups sugar.
cups vinegar.
Evening star., 1944-06-29

handle gently to prevent loss Of
juice. Cut large fruits like apples in
small pieces and leave cores in be-
cause they contain pectin.
Put fruit on to heat in a broad.
fiat-bottomed kettle. Very Juicy
fruit needs no water added, but firm
fruit like apples needs as much as a
cup of water to pound. Crush soft
fruit to start Juice flowing. Bring
fruit to boil and stir to prevent
scorching. After boiling starts, ber-
ries, currants and grapes need to
boil 5 to 10 minutes until soft; ap-
pies and ounces 20 to Is minutes.
Pour the hot cooked fruit at once
into a jelly bag and let it drip. Pour
the juice into hot sterilized jars and
adjust lids. Place on rack in a
water bath with water simmering
Obs F.. When water again comes
to the simmering temperature, sim
mer either pint or quart jars 20
minutes. Remove from water and
seal tops except the metal self
sealing lids.

place until time to use it for making

Fresh Salmon
Is Here!

Spring draws silver hordes of SAL
mon from unknown depths of the
ocean to the mouths of fresh water
streams. Soon as the weather
warns, millions of mature salmon,
ranging in age from 2 to years,
turn their heads toward the fresh
water streams where they were
born. And every ,year, along the
shores Of Northeastern Asia, Alaska
and our own Western coastline,
millions of these delicately favored
denizens of the deep are captured in
selnes, floating traps, in nets and
with hook and line, to take their
place of honor at summertime tables.
This is Salmon season and, accord
Ing to the Fishery Council, the
time to make the most of the "veni-
son of the waters"
The Romans named this fish
"salmo" from the Latin word
"salari," meaning Ito leap" Salmon
from the rivers of the north graced
the feasts of many Roman en-
perors. Chinese legends tell of "the
fish with the golden flesh" the
silver fish that leaps in the river
oll0 b1A2os bilS hAlle vi llSll, WdS
priced by the Indians of the North
Pacific coast when the white man
first visited the region.
Despite these thousands of years
of esteem, the salmon keeps most
of its life a mystery. Hatched in
the clear, cold waters of some noun
tain lake or stream, the little salmon
descend the rivers and disappear
into the sea After fattening at
some secret ocean pasturage, they
return, when mature, to the stream
of their origin, fight the current
and leap the falls to lay their eggs
and die.
Fresh salmon is delicious boiled
and served with a white sauce. It's
natural flavor enables it to stand
out far and above the ordinary
boiled dish. And when you buy this
beauty, remember that although the
price may be higher than that fol
some other fish, weight for weight
salmon will go further because oi
its negligible bone content.

COOKING A GOOD ROAST.
(Thdnks to Mrs. K. F. c.,
WGshinOfOn

To Mrs. C. B. w. who wants The
secret for cooking a good roast, let
me say it is long, slow cooking. A
bouillon is my favorite cut. First
sprinkle all over with salt and pep
per. Grease Dutch oven with bacon
drippings or lard and when smoking
hot place roast in and turn till
brown all over, then put lid on tight
and turn gas as low as possible so
your roast just SINNERS. Don't add
water, as the Juice will run out
plenty to cook it, Continue to SIM
mer till juice disappears g or 4
hours, leaving the fat in which
roast will brown beautifully. Lift
roast out and sprinkle -four in bot
tom of pan and add water. stirring
and cooking till Jumps disappear.
You will have most delicious gravy
with different flavor.
Never let any one tell you to cook
a roast so many. minutes to . the
pound unless you want it rare. For
me it never works. Cook to suit
your own taste. enjoy others reci-
pes, but work them out to suit my
family. I might add that when I
want a special dinner and cook a
roast or Swiss steak am never dis
appointed when I serve them.
(Thanks to Mrs. E. w., Arlington.j

am sure your difficulty Is the same

with onion, bay leaf, green pepper,
carrot or whatever seasoning you
like.
Since these cuts are usually lean,
get your butcher to give you a slab
Of fat. Slice this as thin as you can
and lay it over the top and sides of
your roast, fastening with toothpicks
if necessary. No water is necessary
