not to let a d raft of cold air strike
them while cooling or they might
crack. Also keep plenty of space be­
tween ja rs so th a t there will be a
free circulation of air. Store fruit
in a cool, dry. dark place.
Use only perfect fruit for can­
ning. The bruised, over-ripe fruit
may be used for jam. Of course,
this does not meau fruit th a t is in
any way decayed.
F ru it for jelly
should be under-ripe. The element
in fruit juice th a t causes it to jelly
is called pectin. To make a perfect
jelly th e fruit must also contain
acid. Certain fru it juices contain
pectin but no acid, and in th at case
the acid is supplied from other fruit.
If fru it is over-ripe the pectin dis­
appears and it will be impossible to
make a satisfactory jelly. Pectin is
com parative to gelatin; it dissolves
in hot liquid and stiffens upon cool­
ing. A general rule is to use three-
fourths m easure of sugar to one mea­
sure of fru it juice. This will vary
somewhat with the acidity of the
fru it, and some recipes call for equal
quantities of sugar and fruit juice.
However, the form er quantities will
usually be found satisfactory. Too
much sugar will prevent the juice
from jellying, m aking it syrupy or
full of crystals. Too long cooking
will make the jelly tough. The time
for cooking depends upon the con­
centration of the fruit juice, togeth­
er with the am ount of pectin the
juice contains, the degree of acidity
and the proper am ount of sugar. If
the fruit juice seems very thin, cook
it down until the w ater has been
evaporated, so th a t the cooking will
not be long after the sugar is added.
If fru it for jelly-m aking is over­
ripe. apples may be combined with
it and a satisfactory jelly will result.
