Jam Rules.

Do not allow tin, iron or pewter to touch the jam, as any of these are liable to spoil the color. Everything employed In the Jam making must be scrupulously clean. The iugar must be of the best.

The fruit must be gathered on a dry day, any that is imperfect or damaged being discarded. It should be just ripe. The jam should be boiled until on dropping a little on a plate it jellies. Jam should be boiled fast to preserve the color of the fruit, and kept well stirred. All scum must be carefully remsrfyd as it rises.
