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. Note particularly the
boiling time on strawberry jelly.

gest some way to clean glazed
chlntx mirtalns? E.K.. Knlom
Aim. Shiny chintz curtains can
be cleaned by dusting thoroughly,
men wasmng witn a ruoMr sponge,

warm water and soap suds.
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.

cupful sugar, cupful diced pine
apple, 4 cupful whipped cream and
H teaspoon vanilla. Mix the rice,
sugar and pineapple. Add the va
nilla and fold In the cream. Serve
In sherbet glasses. Garnish with
marasohino cherry.
Miss Eyre: Can yon give me In-
strucllons on how to prepare
French fried onions. Mrs. A.P.,
North Howell.
Ans. Peel large, mild onions, cut
!n thick slices and separate Into
rings. Let stand in ice water for a
half hour or longer, drain and wipe
dry. Dip in flour with which salt
and pepper have been mixed and
fry In deep fat at 305-370 degrees
until delicately browned. Drain on
absorbent paper and sprinkle with
salt. Serve at once.
When making dumplings, cover
the pan with a glass cover or plej
dish. The dumplings can be watch-
ed during their cooking without re
moving the lid. Dumplings fall eas
ily If a draft strikes them.
