Crush one quart blackberries with one pound best loaf sugar. Cook it
over a gentle fire till thick, then add one gill best brandy. Stir it
while over the fire, then put it in pots.--_Mrs. E._
CURRANT JELLY WITHOUT COOKING.
Press the juice from the currants and strain it. To one pint juice
put one pound white sugar. Mix together till the sugar is dissolved.
Then put them in jars, seal them and expose them to a hot sun two or
three days.--_Mrs. E._
CURRANT JELLY.
Pick ripe currants from the stem, and put them in a stone jar. Then
set the jar in an iron pot and let the fruit boil till the juice is
extracted. Pour in a flannel bag and let it drip through--without
squeezing, however, as this makes it cloudy.
To each pint of juice add one pound good white sugar. Boil about
twenty minutes and keep it well skimmed. Put in the glasses while hot,
and sun daily.--_Mrs. P. W._
CRANBERRY JELLY.
Wash and pick the cranberries, put them in the preserving kettle with
a very small quantity of water, cover closely and stew till done. Pour
through a jelly bag or coarse towel, without squeezing, as this will
prevent it from being clear. Measure and pour the liquid into the
preserving kettle. Let it boil up and remove the scum, then add the
sugar, cut or loaf, one pound to a pint. Boil about twenty minutes, or
until it jellies. It preserves the color of fruit jellies to add the
sugar as late as possible.--_Mrs. S. T._
APPLE JELLY.
Take half a peck of pippin apples, wash them clean, slice them from
the core, put them in a preserving kettle with a quart of water. Boil
till entirely soft, then strain through a flannel bag. To each pint of
juice add one pound white sugar and the juice of three lemons. Boil
till jellied. Do not stir while boiling.--_Mrs. P. W._
_Apple Jelly._
Pare and stew sour, juicy apples (Greenings are best), in enough water
to cover them. Strain as for currant jelly. Allow a pound of sugar
for each pound of juice. Put them together and strain. Boil four or
five minutes, skimming thoroughly.--_Mrs. M. B. B._
_Apple Jelly._
Take any number of juicy apples, put them in a porcelain kettle, and
boil to rags. Then strain them through a cloth or sieve. Put a pound
of loaf sugar to each pint of the juice, and boil till it jellies.
Flavor with the seed beaten in a mortar, and put in while the apples
are cooking.--_Mrs. G. W._
CRAB APPLE JELLY.
Slice the apples, take out the cores and seed, as they make the jelly
bitter. Put them in a kettle cover with water, and boil till quite
soft, keeping it well skimmed. Pour the pulp in a jelly bag, and let
it drip through. To each pint of juice, add one pound and a half of
sugar. Pour in the glasses while hot. Delicious with meats.--_Mrs. P.
W._
QUINCE JELLY.
