Prepare Fruit: Select fully ripe fruit. Wash, then prepare exactly as -recipe directs. If fruit lacks tartness add ¼ cup lemon juice when -adding sugar. For separating juice for jelly, use 1-yard square of -Canton flannel, spread over colander. Place prepared fruit in cloth, -bring corners together and twist while pressing down on bag. To make -jellies from dripped juice, use twice amount of fruit called for in -recipe. - - [Illustration: untitled] - - [Illustration: untitled] - -2. Prepare Glasses: Wash, scald, and drain the glasses and tin covers -needed, and melt paraffin in a small pot over hot water while making -jelly or jam. Use new paraffin; old paraffin often causes spoilage. If -tin covers are not available, cut out circles of paper to paste over -tops of glasses. - - [Illustration: untitled] - - [Illustration: untitled] - -3. Measure Sugar and Fruit: Use the same standard measuring cup, holding -½ pint, level full, for both sugar and fruit. If sugar is weighed, weigh -fruit also. To measure fruit for jam, pack solidly into cup until juice -and fruit come to top. If there is a slight shortage, fill last cup, or -fraction of cup, with water. If not quite enough juice for jelly, mix -water with pulp in jelly bag and squeeze again. - - [Illustration: untitled] - - [Illustration: untitled] - -4. Cook Rapidly: For quickest jelly making, use an aluminum kettle or -saucepan—6 to 8 quart size. The kettle or saucepan should be less than -one-half full of sugar and fruit to permit a _full rolling boil_, a boil -which cannot be stirred down. Use hottest flame. If fire is slow, keep -kettle covered after sugar is dissolved until mixture comes to a boil. -Stir while coming to a boil, and while boiling. - - [Illustration: untitled] - - [Illustration: untitled] - -5. Add Certo: For _jelly, add Certo as soon as fruit juice and sugar -mixture comes to a boil_; then bring to a full rolling boil and boil -hard for exactly ½ minute, stirring constantly. For _jam_, cook fruit -and sugar mixture at full rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring -constantly; then _remove from fire and stir in Certo_. Time boil by the -clock. - - [Illustration: untitled] - - [Illustration: untitled] - -6. Skim, Pour, Paraffin: Skim jelly and pour directly from saucepan into -clean, freshly scalded glasses. Skim and stir jam for 5 minutes by -turns. This cooling helps prevent floating fruit. Ladle into glasses. -Leave ½-inch space at top of each glass. Cover at once with ⅛ inch of -hot paraffin. When cool, cover glasses with scalded tin covers or -tightly pasted paper covers. Be sure to store in cool, dry place. - - New Certo Users: Read carefully pages 4, 5, 17, 18, 31. - - - - - TO MAKE JELLY and JAM TOGETHER - - -The recipes on this page and the next show how to make both jelly and -jam from the same batch of fruit.

Makes -about 11 glasses (6 fluid ounces each). - - - - - IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS FOR JELLY MAKERS - - -DON’T—double Certo recipes. Better color and flavor and more certain -results are obtained from single batches. - -DO—use fully ripe fruit of the best possible color and flavor. Taste -fruit, and if it lacks tartness, add the juice of 2 medium lemons (¼ -cup) when adding sugar. - -DO—prepare fruit exactly as the recipes direct. Do not simmer before -crushing or squeezing unless recipes specify cooking. For crushing -fruit, a food chopper is convenient. - -DO—measure sugar and fruit exactly with the same standard ½-pint -measuring cup, level full; or weigh both. A standard measuring cup holds -½ pint sugar (7 oz. by weight) or ½ pint fruit or juice (8 oz. by -weight). - -DO—use a large enough kettle so that your mixture has room enough to -boil _hard_. A kettle of 6- to 8-quart capacity is recommended. If the -6-quart size is used for jam, add ¼ teaspoon butter with sugar to reduce -foaming. - -DON’T—confuse a gentle simmering boil with the _full rolling boil_ -specified in Certo recipes. A full rolling boil is a high, tumbling boil -that cannot be stirred down. - -DO—time the full rolling boil by the clock. - -DO—stir and skim jams by turns for just 5 minutes before pouring. This -slight cooling helps prevent floating fruit. - -DON’T—expose jellies and jams to dust or dampness after they are made. -Spoilage is caused by the growth of yeast and mold plants, which are -usually carried by dust. Use clean glasses, new paraffin, and clean -covers. Paraffin hot jelly and jam at once. Fill glasses only to within -½ inch of top. Store in a cool, dry place. - -DON’T—judge the texture of your jellies or jams too hastily. Certo -recipes are designed to give an ideal set at the time they are most apt -to be used.

Flavor is defined as “free from excessive sweetness, -acid, or overcooked flavor”; perfect texture is “jelly that holds its -shape when turned onto a plate, but quivers when the plate is moved.” - - - Why Certo Recipes Win - -Certo jelly recipes are developed with fully ripe fruit instead of the -under-ripe fruit commonly used in old-fashioned jelly making. They take -you a long way toward perfect flavor. And Certo jelly recipes are -designed to give best texture at the time the jelly is most apt to be -used. They take account of the fact that many jellies grow progressively -firmer for a week to a month after they are made. - -About the ideal texture for jams there is far less agreement than for -jellies. Some prefer jams that hold their shapes, others like softer -jams. Either texture may be had with Certo jams. If a jam seems stiffer -than desired, break it up with a fork before turning out of the glass. - -_The Short-Boil Method_: Scores of state fair champions in jam and jelly -making and millions of other jelly makers, too, use Certo and the -short-boil method of jelly making. They know they can depend on Certo -for sure results, time and money saving, and better, richer-flavored -jams and jellies. - -You may find that Certo recipes call for more sugar than you usually -use. Remember that with Certo no fruit juice boils away in steam and you -usually get half again more glasses. Thus the extra sugar takes care of -the extra juice. - - - HOW TO MAKE JAMS AND JELLIES WITH CERTO - _using 25% to 50% less sugar_ - -In any Certo recipe, 2 cups (1½ lbs.) of light corn syrup may be -substituted for 2 cups (14 oz.) of sugar required. Results will not be -satisfactory if more than 2 cups of corn syrup are used. - - - - - MRS. A SHOWS MRS. B THAT CERTO PAYS FOR ITSELF - - -Mrs. A and Mrs. B both wanted to make some raspberry jam. Each had 2 -quarts of berries to begin with and after cleaning and crushing them -each got the same amount of prepared fruit—4 cups. - -Both Mrs. A and Mrs. B {9 o’clock} started at 9 o’clock. - -Mrs. A added 6½ cups of sugar to her fruit. Then Mrs. A simply brought -her fruit and sugar to a tumbling boil, boiled for 1 minute, removed it -from the stove and added ½ bottle of Certo. The jam was done and it had -all of the flavor of fresh, ripe fruit. - - {uncaptioned} - -Mrs. A was finished at 9:12. - - {9:12} - -Mrs. B added 4 cups of sugar. Then Mrs. B, following the old-fashioned -“cup for cup” recipe, had to boil her fruit and sugar about 30 minutes -before the jam thickened. This long boiling evaporated more than a third -of the prepared fruit and carried off most of the natural fresh fruit -flavor in steam. - - {uncaptioned} - -Mrs. B was finished at 9:45. - - {9:45} - -Mrs. A got 10 glasses of jam from her 2 quarts of berries. - - {uncaptioned} - -Mrs. B took 3 times as long and got only 6 glasses of jam. - - {uncaptioned} - -Mrs. A had shown Mrs. B exactly what she meant when she said, “Certo -really pays for itself!” - - - Form P-2986 Printed in U.S.A. - - - - - Transcriber’s Notes - - -—Silently corrected a few typos. - -—Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook - is public-domain in the country of publication. - -—In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by - _underscores_. - -—Sidenotes are represented as headings or footnotes, as seemed - appropriate. - - - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A SHORT CUT TO BETTER JAMS AND -JELLIES *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
