MOST DAINTY OF PRESERVES

The Delicious Strawberry Can Easily Be Preserved So It Will Retain Its Flavor. The season of toe delicious strawberry is not very long and It behooves the housewife to be familiar with methods of preserving so that the berries may best retain their flavor. 12 Strawberries make the most delicate of preserves. Use pound for pound of fruit and sugar. Select the largest, most perfect berries; put in deep dlshM; sprinkle over the sugar and shake the dishes so it may reach all the berries; leave 12 hours, or longer if more convenient; drain off the juice carefully and boll until it is like jelly, than put in the berries, a few at a time (not pour them in a mass), and let simmer 15 minutes. Skim them out carefully, put in pint cans or jelly cups, and fill with the syrup. When cold cover with melted paraffin and tie up jam.—Farm and Home.
