Raspberry Jelly. — One of our friends tells us with pride that she made delicious stiff raspberry jelly last year by mixing the red raspberries with an equal quantity of green grapes. The two fruits were cooked together, then strained as usual. The resulting jelly was clear red, with full rasp- berry flavor. Our friend had never been able to make raspberries "jell" properly before, so she was much pleased with the experiraent It is quite possible that green grapes would stiffen strawberry jelly, which is usually difficult to harden. Some experimenters say they mix either red currants or early apples with strawberries to make jelly. If raspberries and Summer apples are available at the same time, a combination of the two will make an excellent jelly. Cook and strain separately, then mix the juice, and proceed as with any other jelly. Raspberry and red cur- rants mixed are excellent. Rhubarb Jelly. — On account of the watery consistency of the fruit it cannot be made info jelly as readily as most fruit. A fine jelly and one specially suitable for serving with game can be made if the following directions are observed : Let the rhubarb heat on the back of the stove until the juice flows freely. Strain the juice through a jelly bag. Do not squeeze the bag into the jelly, but use only what will drip of itself. The bag can be squeezed into a different vessel, and the liquid thus gained can be re-added to the pulp of the rhubarb and made into jam. Take the rhubarb juice and boil gently for 10 minutes. Measure and to each pint allow a pound of granulated sugar
