Directions

1

Elderberry and Grape Jelly.

2

So many wild elderberries go to waste here every fall all through the country that I'm going to give a recipe for making them into a deli- cious jelly. Take 1-3 ripe grapes and 2-3 ripe elderberries. Have all the stems out, put them in a saucepan, place over the fire and let them cook slowly until tender enough to yield all their juice freely*. Then put it into a jelly bag and let drain until all the juice is out. Then for each pint of juice add 1 pint of granulated su- gar. Then boil the sugar and juice together and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue the boiling until a little of the jelly cooled in a saucer stiffens, and when it is partly cold pour it into jelly molds.

Mrs. Nat Smythe, 443 East Thirty- eighth street, city, sends in the fol- lowing:

Very few people realize the wide variety of jams and jellies that may be made with plain apple jelly as a base. A box of Gravensteins (or any tart apple), a little fruit juice of sev- eral varieties or a few drops of some of the essential oils and a little vege- table coloring, and you are prepared to run the whole gamut of flavors.

6

I have made apple, lemon, peach, strawberry and orange jelly, also or- ange marmalade, all from the same box of apples. I made an apple jelly using Gravenstein apples cut up and boiled with a little water, strained with three cups of sugar added to four cups of juice To make peach jelly I boiled up the skins and seeds of some peaches I had just canned and added one-third peace juice to two- thirds apple juice. For lemon jelly I used the juice of one lemon to every four cupfuls of apple juice. When cool add a few drops of good lemon
