Make the same as apple jelly, only do not pare or core the fruit, as
much of the jelly is contained in those parts. Or, you may take the
sound parings and cores, stew them and strain the liquor twice, and
you will have a jelly as nice as that made from the fruit. To each
pound of juice allow one pound of sugar. Boil fifteen minutes.--_Mrs.
M. B. B._
ORANGE JELLY.
Grate the rinds of two Seville and two China oranges, and two lemons.
Squeeze the juice of six oranges and three lemons. Add one and a
quarter pounds of loaf sugar and one-quarter of a pint of water, and
boil till it jellies. Have ready a quart of isinglass jelly, made
quite stiff. Put it to the syrup and let it boil up once. Then strain
it and put it in a mould.--_Mrs. V. P. M._
JELLY ORANGES.
Dissolve one package gelatine in one cup cold water, afterwards adding
two cups boiling water to thoroughly dissolve it. Add then three cups
white sugar, one-quarter teaspoonful cinnamon, grated rind of three
oranges, juice of twelve fine oranges. Strain through a flannel bag
into a pitcher, without shaking or squeezing. Extract the pulp from
the orange, by making a hole in one end of it large enough to admit a
mustard spoon. Soak the rind a few hours, and then pour the jelly into
each orange through the hole at the end. Then set aside to congeal.
Garnish with orange leaves. Cut each orange in two. A very ornamental
dish.--_Mrs. McG._
GREEN GRAPE JELLY.
Gather Catawba grapes before ripening. Pick them from the stem, wash
them, and put them in a stone jar. Set the jar in a kettle of cold
water over a hot fire. When the juice comes out of the grapes, take
the kettle off and strain the grapes. To each pint of juice put one
pound of the best loaf sugar. Boil twenty minutes in the kettle. Ripe
grape jelly may be made in the same way.--_Mrs. E._
GRAPE JELLY.
The chief art in making jelly is to boil it continuously, slowly and
gently. It will not harden well if the boiling stops, even for a few
moments. To preserve the true color and flavor of fruit in jellies or
jams, boil well before adding the sugar; in this way the water
contained in all fruit juices is evaporated. Heat the sugar before
adding it. In making grape jelly, pick the grapes from their stems,
wash them, put them over the fire in a vessel containing a little
water, to keep them from burning. Stew a few moments; mash gently with
a silver spoon, strain, and to every pint of juice, allow one pound of
white sugar. After the juice comes to the boiling point, boil twenty
minutes, pour it over the heated sugar, and stir constantly till all
is dissolved. Then fill the jelly glasses.--_J. I. M._
REMEDY FOR MOULDINESS IN FRUIT JELLIES.
Fruit jellies may be preserved from mouldiness by covering the surface
one-quarter of an inch deep with finely pulverized loaf sugar. Thus
protected, they will keep for years.--_Mrs. R. C. M. W._
