An Editorial
For Cultures Sake

T Asst April a group of about 100
persons from all sections of the
state met in Helena. They had a
common interest which is best ex-
pressed in the preamble of the con-
stitution which was adopted at that
meeting. 1t is: "The Montana insti-
tute of the arts is formed to pre-
serve the heritage of the state as
found in its history and folklore, to
stimulate creative work in the sew
eral arts, and to make these cultural
resources available for the benefit
and enjoyment of the people of Mon
tana."
For several years interest in such
an organization has been brewing
among those who feel that it would
be of great value to bring together
persons interested in original or ere
alive work or the recreational use of
the several fields of the arts.
The cas- for existence of such a
group would be it's usefulness in
helping to maintain and strengthen
''the good lfe'' in Montana.
Membership is open not only to
those who work in fine arts, crafts,
music, drama, writing, history or the
social sciences, but also to those who
wish to encourage by their personal
endorsement such as organization.
Montana is unusually rich in nat
ural Each year brings
more tourists to our two national
parks, dude ranches, and vacation
spots. The creative work and Gull
tural interests of its people should
be made more available both to ma
tive Montanans and to the visitors
within our boundaries.
The Montana institute of the arts
should enrich both the life of the
individual and the life of the state

the sheeting tests determines the
jelling stage. To make the sheeting
test, take a small amount of juice
in a spoon. Let it drop from the
side of the spoon. AT the early cook
ing stages it will run off like thin
syrup. When the jelly stage is
reached it will Sheet or 'sflake''
off-two or more drops running to-
gether and cutting clean as it leaves
the spoon.
A candy thermometer or jellmeter
may be used in place of the sheet
ing test. If either is used, one must
follow the instructions of the manu-
facturer carefully. Before making
jelly it is well to determine the pee
tin content of the fruit you are
using. There are two simple meth
DDS which any homemaker can
use. The first is done with wood
alcohol. The method: take / table
spoon wood alcohol; mix with 1
tablespoon fruit juice Cooked. If
pectin is present it will collect in
a solid mass, indicating high pectin
content; or in small particles, indi-
eating small amount of pectin. Wood
alcohol is poisonous, so precautions
must be taken. The EPSON salts test
is a second test for pectin in fruits.
Do it as follows: Mix together l
teaspoon cooked fruit juice, " tea

sugar and juice, and bring to a boil
quickly. Boil until a jelly test is
secured. This will vary with the
fruit and amount. Let it boil with a
full rolling boil. Small quantities
from 3 to 4 cups of juice makes a
better jelly than cooking large guam
titles at a time.
Containers and Storage
Pour the finished product, after
skimming, into hot sterilized jars or
glasses with straight sides. Jelly
glasses r preferred over jars with
small mouths, for jelly is incest

juice. Too much sugar produces a
syrupy jelly; too little, a tough
product.
The third essential for making
good jelly is heat. The fruit juice
and sugar are combined and boiled
rapidly-or in the language of the
jelly maker, a rolling boil. Use a
large open kettle, As times the size
of the volume of juice to be cooked.
The flavor, texture and color of jelly
are all best when cooked rapidly to
the jelling point.

Tips on the Art of
Good Jelly Making
BY Glars B. SPARROW, Cascade County

THE art of making good jelly is
n in which every homemaker,
experienced or inexperienced, takes
great pride. For what can give more
appetite appeal for breakfast, lunch
o Or dinner than a c~olorful, quiz
cry mold of good jelly with its deli
cate flavor, characteristic of the
fruit from which it is made.
If wishes to analyze OF Judge
her own %jellies, a good product is
a quivery mass of beautiful color;
nodded to hold its shape, but quiv-
cry; transparent and free from sedi-
ment and crystal; its texture just
right so that when tested with a
knife, it is so tender that it cuts
easily with a clean distinct cut, re-
tanning its shape, and leaving the
knife clean. It's flavor can best be
described as closely resembling the
fruit from which it is made, not too
sweet but delicately favored. 1t
should not be gummy, sticky, tough
o syrupy.
Three essentials for jelly making
are: Cd a fruit juice containing both
acid and pectin; (2) sugar in cor
rect proportion; and 90 heat to cook
the mixture to the jelly stage.
Pectin is the essential jelly max
ing substance II gelatinizer; acid,
too, is essential. Some fruits contain
acid and pectin in correct proper
tons for perfect jelly. Among them
are several varities of apples, crab
apples, partially ripened grapes, and
slightly under-ripe red raspberries
Other fruits, lacking in either pee
tin or acid make good jellies when
combined with high pectin fruit
jellies, or when made with CONNER
cial pectins. In general, pectin is
higher in slightly under-ripe fruits
Sugar-Juice Proportion
The second essential for good jelly
making is the correct proportion Of
sugar to juice. In general for fruit:
high in pectin and acid, the rule il
to use from l to Ia cups of sugar
per cup of fruit juice. Fruits low il
pectin or acid require less sugar
For example, in making grape, rasp
berry or blackberry jelly, from "a
cup of sugar per cup of fruit juic'
will make a better jelly than usini
the usual l cup of sugar per cup O
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-07-15

spoon sugar and IA teaspoon EPSON
salts. Stir until all are dissolved.
Let stand 5 minutes. If the mixture
sets or makes a jelly, it is a good
telling juice. Make whichever test
you prefer.
When you have selected fruit, and
determined its pectin content, you
are ready to make jelly.
When making jelly without COM
mercial pectin, the following method
is used: Choose slightly under-rip-
ened fruit, wash, sort, stem and re-
spots. Cut large fruits like
apples in several pieces but do not
peel or core.
Juice Extraction
Cover the fruit with cold water.
Simmer Is to 20 minutes, MASKING
and stirring as it cooks. Then pour
fruit and juice in a jelly bag, pref
erably flannel, which has been
scalded and is still wet. Let it hang
suspended over a bowl or kettle
until all juice has been extracted.
Fruits high in pectin may have a
second and third juice extraction.
These are made as the first, except
that a small proportion of water is
added each time. All juices should
be combined before making the
jelly.

For My Son

IF l knew I were going to die to-
night
I wouldn't scold because you track
mud on the porch;
/ wouldn't tell you to hush when you
whistled so shrilly;
wouldn't be irritated because you
forgot to hang up your cap
and coat;
I'd be so glad to be able to do one
more thing for you.
I'd be so happy that you were
happy enough to want to
whistle.
I'd realize that mud on a porch is
more easily removed than
memory of a cross word.
And I'd want to leave you with
last memories of a pleasant
mother, if I knew
] were going to die tonight.
And, after all, how do 1 know I'm
not?

Cooking the Jelly

Measure juice and figure the pro-
portion of sugar for the specific
fruit. Be sure to have a kettle which
holds 4 to 5 times the volume of
juice to be cooked. Combine the

when unmolded in the shape of the
jar. Cool the jelly or let jell be-
fore paraffin is put on. Then cover
with hot paraffin-b to "a inch is
sufficient. A word of caution in
using paraffin. 1t is highly inflam-
mable, SO always heat it over boil
ing water. A small metal tea pot or
covered pitcher makes a nice re-
ceptacle for heating and pouring
paraffin. Cover jelly glasses tightly
and store in a dark, cool fruit room.
Commercial Pectin
Many homemakers today prefer
the method of making jelly where
commercial pectins are used. The
use of commercial lpectin insures a
good product if instructions are fol-
lowed carefully. A larger volume of
jelly is obtained from the same
amount of juice. Cooking time is
shorter, and much of the testing and
guesswork is removed. However, the
veteran jelly maker may prefer the
flavor of jelly made without COM
mercial pectin. 1t takes less sugar,
thus diluting flavor less.
Whether or not you use a com
mercial pectin, if you are not an ex-
perienced jelly maker, use a good
recipe, follow it carefully, measure
accurately, and time the process just
right.
Some Faults
Even the best of jelly makers oc-
casionally have difficulty in getting
a standard product. Here are a few
common difficulties Analysed: Cd
Soft jelly; insufficient boiling or too
high a proportion of sugar for the
pectin in the juice. (2) Cloudiness;
too much haste in straining juice
squeezing jelly bag, using too porous
a bag, or pouring in glasses after
the jelly has started to CONCEAL. 90
Crystals; generally too large a pro-
portion of sugar or insufficient cook
ing. Note: The tartar crystals which
sometimes form in grape jelly may
be eliminated if the juice is pre-
pared ahead, cooled several hours OF
overnight, and then transferred care
fully into another kettle. The sugar
crystals will cling to the sides ane
bottom of the receptacle. (4) Tough
jelly; too little sugar, thus requiring
a long cooking time to get the jelly
test. (5) Dummy jelly; over cooking
Pectin tends to be destroyed by lonl
cooking.
