‘The American Way’ bread, butter and jelly By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Bread, butter and jelly is as much a part of the American way of life as apple pie. Homemade jams, jellies, and preserves have a special flavor that the commercially prepared varieties cannot compete with. Jelly is made from fruit juice. It is clear and firm enough to hold its own shape when turned out of the container. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit, tends to hold its shape but generally is less firm than jelly. Preserves are whole fruits or large pieces of fruit in a thick syrup, often slightly jellied. There are four essential ingredients in jellied fruit products — fruit, sugar, pectin, and acid, . The fruit gives the characteristic flavor to the product. Sugar helps in gel formation, serves as a preserving agent and contributes to the flavor of the jellied product. Beet and cane sugar can be us.ed with equal success. Some fruits have enough natural pectin to make high quality products. Others require added pectin for a firm product. Acid is needed for flavor and for gel formation. One common problem in making homemade jelly is a cloudy product. This can be due to .one or several reasons: Pouring jelly mixture into glasses too slowly, allowing jelly mixture to stand before it is poured, juice not properly strained, or the jelly set too fast which is usually the result of using fruit that it too green. Weeping jelly can be caused by too much acid, paraffin too thick or the storage place too warm. If you have room in your frozen jams are easy to make and very satisfactory. Be sure to follow the recipes carefully since proportions of ingredients vary with different fruits. > Strawberry Jam 2 cups finely mashed or sieved strawberries, 4 cups sugar, 1 package powdered pectin, 1 cup water. Combine berries and sugar. Let stand about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the pectin into the water, bring to boiling, and boil rapidly for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from stove. Add the berries and stir about two minutes. Pour into jelly glasses. Cover and let stand at room temperature 24 to 48 hours, or until jelled. Seal with paraffin and store in a freezer. Or keep several weeks at refrigerator temperature. (Makes about 6 glasses). To use liquid pectin for this jam, omit die powdered pectin and water and use % bottle of liquid pectin (% cup). No cooking necessary. Boggs descendants gather on Sunday Approximately 40 descendants of A. H. Boggs gathered at the Milford fire station Sunday for a family reunion. Earl Shinn and son Ed of Oklahoma came the greatest distance to attend; Mrs. Ellen DeMont of Plymouth was the oldest; and the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kerri Boggs of Milford was the youngest. Mr. and Mrs. Don Boggs of Leesburg had the largest family group in attendance which included four married sons and their children.
