Fruit Spreads
Will Help Ease
Butter Shortage
I
—
When making peach jam, use fully
ripened fruit fer best in flavor and
color. The fruit is prepared as
shown here, by chopping coarsely
before being added to the other in
gredients.
Lack of sugar need be no excuse
for not putting up those mouth
watering jams
and jellies this
summer. If you
look far enough
ahead, these de
lectable fruit
combinations can
be the means of
easing up another
shortage—that of
butter.
One of two
ways may be used for maintaining
the traditional time-honored jam
and jelly cupboard. First of all, the
limited sugar supplies can be
stretched by using light corn syrup
for sweetening. Or, secondly, fruit
and berry juice may be pasteurized
while the season is in full swing,
and made into jams and jellies lat
er in the year as sugar is secured.
What about the texture of jellies
and jams made of pasteurized fruit
and berry juice? It will not be af
fected, tests show. Color and flavor
may not be quite as good, but is
generally fair.
When corn syrup is used as a sub
stitute for part of the sugar, the
corn syrup should be added to the
fruit along with the sugar. If direc
tions for the substitution of corn
syrup for sugar are followed as giv
en in the recipe, the jams and jel
lies will set favorably. Also, when
corn syrup is used, the recipe will
yield from one to two additional
glasses of jam or jelly.
Note: The corn syrup designated
in the following recipes is white corn
syrup.
Ripe Peach Jam
(Makes about 12 6-ounce glasses)
4 cups prepared fruit
554 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1 bottle fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, pit and peel
about 3 pounds of fully ripe fruit.
Grind or chop very fine. If desired,
1 to 3 tablespoons spice may be add
ed. If peaches lack tartness, 54
cup lemon juice may be added to
the 4 cups prepared fruit.
Measure sugar, syrup and pre
pared fruit, solidly packed, into a
I large kettle and
mix well. Bring
to a boil over the
hottest fire stir
ring constantly
before and while
boiling. Boil hard
1 minute. Re
move from fire
and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Stir
and skim by turns for just 5 min
utes to cool slightly and to prevent
floating fruit. Pour quickly into
sterile jars or glasses. Paraffin hot
jam at once.
Ripe Red Raspberry Jam
(Makes about 11 6-ounce glasses)
4 cups prepared fruit
Lynn Says:
When you make jellies and
jams: Wash fruits and berries
carefully, discarding bruised or
decayed spots. Cut large fruits
in quarters or pieces, or chop for
making jams. Fruits like crab
apples, apples or quinces are not
peeled because the peeling con
tains much of the precious pec
tin content.
Hard fruits like apples and
quinces should barely be covered
with water. Currants, grapes and
berries need only enough water
to start cooking Fruits should
be boiled only until soft, other
wise they lose flavor and color
Melt paraffin until it is smok
ing hot and pour over top of jelly
after it has cooled. Rotate glass
to make sure edges are coated
with paraffin.

4% cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
% bottle fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, crush or grind
about 2 quarts fully ripe raspber
ries. Measure sugar, syrup and
fruit into a large kettle and mix
well. Bring to a full rolling boil
over a very hot fire and stir con
stantly before and while boiling. Boil
hard one minute. Remove from fire
and add bottled fruit pectin. Stir
and skim during the next 5 min
utes, than pour quickly into glasses.
Paraffin at once.
Kipe Blackberry Jelly
(Makes about 9 6-ounce glasses)
3 cups juice
2 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare juice, crush or grind
about 2 quarts of fully ripe berries
(not black caps). Place fruit in jel
ly cloth or bag and squeeze out
juice. If the amount does not meas
ure to 3 cups, add a little water to
the pulp and squeeze out again.
Measure sugar and syrup into a 'j
dish and set aside until needed.
Place juice in a saucepan (3 to 4
quart size). Place over hot fire and
add powdered
fruit pectin. Mix
well and continue
stirring until mix
ture comes to a
boil. Pour in sug
ar and syrup and
bring mixture to
a full rolling boil, while continuing
to stir. Boil hard Vz minute. Re
move from fire, skim, pour quickly.
Paraffin hot jelly at once.
Those of you who have enough
sugar to spare will enjoy these cher
ry preserves which are such an ex
cellent accompaniment to meats,
fowl and other main dishes.
Cherry Preserves.
Use from % to 1 pound sugar to
each pound of fruit depending upon
the sourness of the cherries. Mix <
cherries with sugar; let stand over
night. Heat slowly to boiling. Boil
rapidly 15 to 20 minutes, or until
cherries are tender. Let stand until
cold. Pack cherries into hot, sterile
jars. Boil syrup until thick. Pour
hot syrup over the cherries; seal at
once.
I
Level measurements are essential
to jam and jelly making. When sug
ar and corn syrup are used, they
are added to the fruit together. Half
sugar and half syrup are advised
for best results.
Honey is a good sweetener with
some types of fruits. Here are two
good delicacies for your winter
spreads:
Plum Butter.
5 pounds plums
Honey
Wash plums and remove all blem
ishes. Place in kettle and just cover
with water. Cook until tender and
then put through colander to remove
pits and skins. Measure pulp and
add Vt cup honey to each cup of
plum pulp. Return to fire and cook
until thickened. Seal in sterilized
jars.
Sweet Apple Pickles.
2 cups honey
1 cup vinegar
2 inches stick cinnamon
G whole cloves
Apples
Combine honey, vinegar anu
spices. Have ready 8 to 10 cups
quartered apples (pared or not, as
preferred). Cook 2 to 3 cups apples
at a time in the syrup, handling
them gently so they do not mash
When transparent, lift out and place
in a bowl or jar and continue until
all are cooked. Take out spires
pour remaining syrup over apples
and store until needed These may
be served with chicken or turkey
meat loaf, roast pork or baked ham

No, wonder Karl Marx got

The average mill-owner of
Karl Marx’s time was a stupid
slave driver. He worked his help
from 3 2 to 18 hours a day, includ
ing children.
These short-sighted employers
of a century ago created a bad
impression of “capital” that still
exists.
Mc^st employers today are
smart enough to be fair — and
workers have plenty of power of
their own — burt modern em
ployers are still paying for the
anger created by bosses of Karl
Marx’s day.
Karl Marx was crazy in his
arithmetic and cockeyed in his
ideas about solutions, but he had
good reason to be plenty sore at

BABYb
By Lillian B. Storms
Occasionally a young mother will
get concerned for fear her baby is
not having a wide enough variety
of foods. Probably she might bet
ter be careful that he is not get
ting too much variety!
During the first few months, in
fact, for the first year of .your
baby’s life, he is learning gradu
ally — very gradually — to eat a
number of different foods. For
some time after he starts on cer
eals, vegetables and fruits, it is
more important that he learn to
eat foods of varying textures and
consistencies than that he should
have a variety of different cereals,
or vegetables or fruits. He. is
learning to eat.
If he has a variety during the
period of a week’s meals, he will
be learning to eat different foods.
This is of more value to him than
that he have carrots for their Vita
min A on one day and peas be
cause they have considerable Vita
min C the next day. The small
cans or jars of strained vegetables
may be kept for two or three days,
if cove#ed and refrigerated, and
fed for several days. Open a can
of carrots, then the next one in
two or three days may be a green
vegetable.
This plan is less confusing to
your baby and at the same time* i
v simplifies your problems.

More About Disappointment Clubs
Every one in the audience of fifty
j or more university women listened
. attentively while the speaker dis
cussed some of the problems now
faced by xNegroes in this country.
When the question period came
arouiiu, one young matron from
Montclair, New jersey asked: “What
is the Urban League doing to break
up the disappointment clubs in Mont
clair and other cities?” The question
was prompted by the fact that a Ne
gro mail failed to show up on a new
job after having accepted the work.
Neither the butcher, the bilker nor
the candlestick maker keeps his ap
pointments these days, but when a
Negro maid fails to show up, the
otherwise intelligent community buzz
es with news of “disappointment
clubs.” Of course you know that not
one such organization has been dis
:overed anywhere in the United
itates.
