THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE 21. 1934 EXPERTS GIVE ADVICE FOR JELLY MAKING Do you know how to judge your own Jellies? To determine whether they are superior, falr-to-middllng, ' or poor? Actually, its quite easy, and you might begin now with the rhubarb cind strawberry jellies you are undoubtedly malting while these limits are so plentiful and moder ately priced. II you want to be dead certain of perfect strawberry Jelly made by the short-boll method, take the ad vice of experts who recommend that for 1934 berries, you boil the fruit Juice and sugar mixture four minutes before adding the pectin, as well as half a minute after. They say, too, to add the Juice of one lemon. These extra precautions are needed because unusual weather conditions this year have resulted. In a berry crop that varies more" than usual In moisture' content. fitnee most jellies and jams "set up" get progressively firmer lor a week to a month after they are made, do not 6core them until they are at least a week old. Here's how to be your own Jelly Judge. (The United States Depart ment of Agriculture has laid down the following rules, adhered to at most prise -giving state and county fairs.) Try this on your strawberry and rhubarb Jfiues: Container 5 Clearness 10 (Your Jelly should contain no pulp particles, no bubbles, no visi ble crystals.) Color 10 (It should have the rich, red hue of ripe strawberries, or the pale pin or rnuoaru.) Texture 40 (Vour Jelly should hold Its shape when turned onto a plate, yet It should quiver when the plate Is moved. Furthermore, your Jelly should cut easily with a spoon; be tender, yet break with distinct cleavage and show sparkling faces. it li s sticxy, gummy, tough, Byrupy, sugary or contains any crystals, mark yourself down.) Flavor 35 (That means strawberry jelly should taste like the fresh, fully ripe fruit, etc.) The use of bottled fruit pectin in sures ripe fruit flavor. In order to have Jellies to judge, you will neew simple, up-to-the-minute recipes such as the ones be low, to guide you In making these tasty spreads.

Food race Editor: Will yon tell me wbeuter n is correct to serve sherry wine with the main course at a shower luncheon for a bride, then cordial with the coffee. And should the cordial glasses be placed witn uie wine and water glasses at the berinnlrur of the meal? Mrs. K. M., Salem. Ans. It Is customarv to serve only one wine at luncheon, sherry, claret or sauterne. If you wish to give your guests sherry serve It In stead of a cocktail before luncheon, without canapes. It la not eusto mary to serve cordials at luncheon, though your guests might be glad If you did. Cordials an the Ideal last touch to a good dinner. Tin little cordial glasses are not set on the table at the beginning of the meal. In the old days when drinking traditions were established people lived In big houses and It became the habit to saunter from dining room to the living room for coffee and cordials. If all your eat ing and drinking must be done In one room, bring on your cordial glasses with the coffee. I've seen some lovely sett recently, mexpen- sive, too, that look very handsome on a tray that is passed around the room. Food Fare Editor: May I reaiMst the publication of a) pineapple whip recipe?
