cannot be obtained, raspberries may be preserved as follows : — Weigh the raspberries, and allow three-quarters of a pound of sugarRaspberry Jam (another way) for each pound of fruit. Put the fruit and sugar in layers upon a large dish, and let them remain for some hours. When they are to be boiled, put fruit and sugar together into a preser\ang- pan, stir the jam to keep it from burning, and let it boil gently for three-quarters of an hour from the time it begins to boil. Eemove the scum as it rises, or the jam will not be clear. Put it into jars, cover, and store in the usual way. Probable cost, Gd. to 9d. per pound. Raspberry Jam (another way). — Mash a quantity of fine ripe dry raspberries, strew on them their own weight of loaf sugar, and add half their weight of white-currant juice. BoU. them half an hour over a clear slow fire, skim well, and put them into pots or glasses; tie down with brandied papers, and keep them dry. Strew on the sugar as soon as possible after the berries are gathered, and in order to preserve their flavoui- they must not stand long before they are boiled. Raspberry Jam (superior). — Pick four pounds of freshly-gathered raspberries, and put them into a preserving-pan with one pint of red currant juice. Let them boil for a quarter of an hour, skim well, and add four pounds of loaf sugar. Boil the jam again, and keep it boiling for half an horn-. Carefully remove the scum as it rises, or the jam will not be bright and clear. Put it into jars ; cover in the usual way. Raspberry Jelly.— Pick the stalks from some perfectly ripe and freshly-gathered rasp- berries, and put them into a stone jar. Bruise them slightly, cover the jar, place it in a pan of boiling water, and keep it boiling gently until the juice flows freely. Lay a piece of muslin in a fine hair sieve, and keep pouring off the juice till no more will flow. The fruit must not be squeezed, and if the juice is at all thick it should be strained through a jelly bag. Measure the juice, and put it into a preser%dng-pan with a pound of loaf-sugar (in lumps) to each pint of juice.Raspberry Jelly Stir occasion- ally, skim carefully, and boil gently until it sets when a little is poured upon a plate. Put the jelly into small jars, and when cold cover in the usual way. Store in a dry, airy place. The flavour of this jeUy wiU be improved if one part of red cuiTant juice is used with two parts of raspberry juice. If the fruit is not drained till quite dry, it may be boiled with half its weight of sugar to make common jam. Time, about one hour to draw the juice ; half an hour to boil it with the sugar. Probable cost, 9d. to Is. per pound. Sufficient, two quarts of raspberries should j-ield about one pint of juice. Raspberry Jelly (another way.) — Take half a pound of fresh, ripe-plucked raspberries, and put them in a basin. Add two table-spoon- fuls of powdered sugar, crush the fruit, and pour it on a fine sieve held over a china bowl placed to receive the juice. Add to the rasj^berry juice the juice of two oranges, and filter on a sieve or thi'ough a glass funnel, with paper without glue HAS (711 ) HAS Raspberry Jelly
