For Meals of Distinction Serve
Your Own Homemade Jelly
—Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co.
Homemade jelly adds distinction to any meal. Good jelly
Is made by cooking the correct amount of sugar with the juice
of any full flavored fruit. Many juices can be used as is, but
some require the addition of fruit acid or a solidifying agent
called pectin and others need both acid and pectin.
Tart apples, blackberries, dewberries, cranberries, cur
rants, gooseberries, grapes", sour plums, sour oranges, usu
mOj have enough of both acid ana
pectin for making jelly. Apricots,
cherries, peaches, raspberries,
pears, strawberries usually lack
either or both acid and pectin, but
make excellent jelly when combined
with an equal amount of tart apple
jelly juice or with commercial pec
tin. If pectin is used, the instruc
tions supplied with it must be fol
lowed.
It is a good plan to can unsweet
ened fruit juice and make it into
jelly as needed, because ireshly
made jelly hns a much better flavor
than that which has stood several
months.
We are indebted to Gladys Kim
brough, Home Service Director for
Ball Brothers Company, manufactu
rer of fruit jars, for a few notes
which should be helpful to those who
have not already mastered the art
of making jelly of superior quality.
JELLY NOTES
For natural jelly "lik* mother
used to make," use fruits which un
der normal conditions contain
enough pectin and acid to yield a
good jehy.
For unusual jellies, combine the
juices of such fruit as red cherries,
strawberries, or apricots with an
equal amount of apple juice or with
• good commercial pectin.
Fruit should be hard-ripe for jelly
making. Under-ripe fruit lacks fla
vor, that which is "cream and sug
ar" ripe won't jell; however, some
prefer to use half under
id half fully-ripe fruit

ties, for example, require
If you have no jelly stand
bag, tie two thicknesses of c
cloth over the top of a deep enamel·
ware kettle or a clean dish pan.
Pour the hot fruit on the cloth and
let drip free of juice. 'The fruit
from which the juice has drained
may be put through a colander and
used for making butter or jam.)
Don't make the mistake of using
too much sugar. The general rule
is three cups to one quart of juice,
but currants and green gooseberries
usually work out better if three and
• half to four cups of sugar are
used to each quart if juice.
Cane and beet sugar are equally
satisfactory for making jelly.
One-fourth of the granulated sug
ar called for in a recipe may be
replaced with corn sirup.
Sugar crystals are likely to form
in jelly if: (1) it is cooked too long,
(2) too much sugar is used. (3)
there is not enough acid in the juice,
(4) it is left standing unsealed.
The needle shape crystals in
grape jelly are caused by the tar
taric acid in the grapes. These
crystals seldom form in jelly made
from unsweetened canned juice.
Canned juice should be strained be
fore using. Jelly made from fresh
grape juice is less likely to contain
crystals if the juice is left in the re
frigerator for 24 hours before us
ing. It should be strained to remove
any crystals which may form in it.
Gummy jelly is usually caused
by overcooking or by long slow
cooking.
Jelly may be cloudy if: (1) the
juice is not carefully strained, (2)
under-ripe fruit is used, (3) allowed
to cool too much before pouring
into glasses, (4) sauce pan is held
high above the glass when the jelly
is poured (this traps in air bubbles).
Jellies may "weep" if: (1) not
cooked enough, (2) glasses are ailed
too full, (3) glass not clean above
the paraffin, (4) paraffin more than
one-eighth inch thick or does not
touch sides of glasses.
Use regular jelly glasses as they
are the right size and shapi.
Boil jelly glasses 20 minutes to
sterilize—then drain dry.
Cook jelly rapidly and in small
batches, not more than two quarts at
a time.
Jelly must be cooked to the finish
point That's when it sheets from
a metal spooa This happens when
instead of leaving the side of a tilt
ed spoon in a stream, the last of th<
sirup divides into two large drops
which meet and then slide off the
spoon together.
Leave at least one-fourth inch
space at the top when filling jelly
glasses. Do not spill or splash jelly
on the inside rim of the glass.
Use a sterilized spoon to remove
bubbles or scum from jelly before
tt is covered with melted paraffin.
