Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 235, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 October 1913 — Blackberry Jam. [ARTICLE]

Blackberry Jam.

For blackberry Jam allow threequarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Mix the sugar with the fruit and set it on the back of the stove. Let it stand there until the juice begins to show. Press the fruit occasionally with a spoon to start the juice. Then bring the mixture forward over the fire and let it cook for an hour, stirring it almost continually to keep It from burning. It should cook rather quickly. When very thick pour it into marmalade jars and let it stand for 24 hours before covering it with paraffine in the usual way.
