There could scarcely be a more
acceptable gift to any household^
er than a jar or two of home
made jellies or jams. Perhaps you
put up enough last summer so
that you can afford to be gen
erous with your supply at Christ
mas time. If not, there are very
good winter jellies which you
can make right now.
Honey Orange Marmalade
1 1-2 cups prepared orange and
lemon (see below)
2 1-2 cups honey
1-2 bottle fruit pectin.
To prepare fruit, remove skins
in quarters from 1 medium
orange and 1 medium lemon. Lay
skins flat; shave off and discard
about half of white part. With
a very sharp knife cut remain
ing rind into fine shreds. Add 1-2
cup honey, 1-2 cup water and
is in addition to the 2 1-2 cups
1-16 teaspoon soda. 'This honey
specified above.) Bring to a boil
and simmer, covered, ten min
utes, stirring occasionally. Re
move sections of fruit pulp free
from membrane. Add pulp and
juice to cooked rind; simmer
20 minutes longer. (If orange is
very sweet, add juice of 1 extra
lemon.)
Measure honey and prepared
fruit, solidly packed, into large'
kettle, flooding each cup with
juice or, if necessary, with water. !
Bring to a full rolling boil over i
hottest fire. Stir constantly before
and while boiling. Boil hard 1
minute. Remove from fire and
stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then
stir and skim by turns for just
five minutes to cool slightly, to
prevent floating fruit. Pour I
quickly. Paraffin hot marmalade
at once. Makes about 6 glasses
of 6 fluid ounces each.
Cranberry and Fresh Orange
Jelly
3 1-2 cups sugar
1 1-2 cups cranberry juice
(canned or fresh).
1 1-2 cups fresh orange juice,
strained
1 box powdered fruit pectin.
Measure sugar into dry dish
and set aside until needed.
Measure juice into a 3-to-..
4 quart saucepan and place over
hottest fire. Add powdered fruit
pectin, mix wel 1 an continue,
stirring until mixture comes to1
*-—-—
a hard boil. At once, pour in
si^gar, stirring constantly. Con
tinue stirring.
Bring to a full rolling boil, and
boil hard for half a minute.
Remove from fire, skim, pour;
quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at I
once. Makes about 7 glasses of
6 fluid ounces each.
Dried Herb Jelly
1 cup herb infusion
1-4 cup vinegar
3 cups sugar
Coloring
1-2 bottle fruit pectin
To make herb infusion: pour
1 1-4 cups boiling water over 2
tablespoons herbs. Cover, let
stand 15 minutes, strain to re
move herbs.
Measure infusion into 3-quart
saucepan, adding water if neces
sary, to make 1 cup. Add vine
gar and sugar and mix.
Place over hottest fire and
while mixture is coming to a boil
add coloring to give desired
shade. Be sure that it is a col
oring which fruit acids do not
cause to fade. As soon as mix
ture boils, add bottled fruit pec
tin, stirring constantly. Then
bring to a full rolling boil and
boil hard for half a minute.
Remove from fire, skim, pour
quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at
once. This makes about four six
ounce glasses.
NOTE: The following herbs, or
any three or four of them mixed,
together, make a good infusion.
Rosemary, thyme, tarragon, mar
joram, basil, sage and savory.
The above jelly is a particu
larly good present for the house
hold of a hunter, as it is deli
cious served with wild game.
With very little trouble you
can decorate your jars of home
made preserves so that they
make gay as well as delectable
presents. Cover the tops of the
jars smoothly with paper and
decorate with stickers in the
shape of the fruits inside. Make
cjfecorative hand-written labels.
And if you feel slightly ambi
tious about the whole thing,
make a ‘‘coaster’’ trim for the
glasses by twisting crepe paper
of three colors, braiding it, and
covering the bottom and the lid
of the jelly glass with the re
sulting trimming. This makes a
jar handsome enough to put on,
the table just as it is, and the
bottom covering protects the
table from possible dripping jel
ly, besides offering a decorative
note.
