Raise the temperature in hot water to 75° F. (barely lukewarm). Remove from heat and place where it is to remain until set. Add X of a Junket Tablet thoroughly dissolved in 1 tablespoonful cold water; stir while adding. Cover with cloth and leave from 12 to 16 hours in even temperature, about 75° F. (kitchen warmth). There should be a slight whey on top, and when poured out the curd should cleave sharply. Drain through cotton cloth firmer than cheesecloth. When whey has been drained out, work 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls salt into the cheese, according to taste. 1M to 2 pounds of cheese should be obtained from a gallon of milk. Cottage cheese is one of the best foods we have. It is so rich in protein that it can replace meat to some extent; it also supplies minerals and vitamins essential to health.

PERFECT JAMS AND JELLIES Do you ever stop to think why certain jellies and jams walk off with the blue ribbons in jelly- contests and win cheers from all the family . . . just what stands for perfection in a jelly or a jam? Score Cards used for judging in exhibitions and contests rate jellies for flavor, texture, color, and clearness, and give 75 per cent of a score of 100 for perfect flavor and texture. “Perfect flavor” is the flavor of fresh, fully ripe fruit; a jelly of “perfect texture” is one which holds its shape when turned onto a plate, yet quivers when the plate is moved. Why Certo Recipes Win # Certo jelly recipes are developed with fully ripe fruit instead of the under-ripe fruit com¬ monly used in old-fashioned jelly making. They take you a long way toward perfect flavor. And Certo jelly recipes are designed to give you the most desirable texture at the time the jelly is most apt to be used. They take account of the fact that many jellies grow progressively firmer for a week to a month after they are made. About the ideal texture for jams there is far less agreement than for jellies. Some prefer jams which hold the shape of the mold when turned out, while others like softer jams. Either texture may be had with Certo jams. If a jam seems stiffer than desired, simply break it up with a fork before turning out of the glass. New Certo Users: Read also pages 3 to 5, 26 to 32 2 CERTO SHORT-BOIL METHOD Scores of jelly and jam exhibition champions and millions of other jelly makers, too, use Certo and the short-boil method of jelly making. Certo gives them sure results. It saves them time. It saves them money. And it gives them better, richer flavored jellies and jams. Certo is natural fruit pectin, the substance in fruits that makes jellies “jell” and jams “jam,” refined, concentrated, and bottled. And because the fruits from which jellies are made vary widely in their jelly making properties, there comes with Certo a definite recipe for each fruit. If you will only follow these recipes carefully, you’ll have top-notch results with jelly making. In following Certo recipes, you may find that they call for more sugar than you have been accustomed to using. But remember that with Certo no fruit juice boils away in steam and you usually get half again more glasses from the same amount of fruit. So you need this extra sugar to take care of the extra juice. Before You Begin . • . Now, before you make a single glass of jelly or jam, study the Steps to Follow , on the two following pages. The pictures and the brief instructions here will help you to make every jelly and jam the easiest, surest way—will make every recipe clearer. The Do’s and Don’Is on pages 30 and 31 are worth reading, too, for they are based on the questions most often asked by jelly makers year after year, the country over. 3 * THE STEPS TO FOLLOW 1. Prepare Fruit: Select fully ripe fruit. Prepare exactly as Tecipe directs. If fruit lacks tartness add yi cup lemon juice when adding sugar. For separating juice for jolly, use i-yard square of Canton flannel, spread over colander. Place prepared fruit in cloth, bring corners together and twist while pressing down on bag. To make jellies from dripped juice, use twice amount of fruit called for in recipe. 2. Prepare Glasses: Wash, scald, and drain the glasses and tin covers needed, and melt paraffin in a small pot over hot water while making jelly or jam.

Cook Rapidly: For quickest boiling, use an aluminum kettle or saucepan—6- to 8-quart size.

If fire is slow, keep kettle covered after sugar is dissolved until mixture boils. Stir occasionally while coming to a boil, and while boiling. 5 . Add Corto: For jelly , add Certo as soon as fruit juice and sugar mixture comes to a boil; then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exact time stated in the recipe, stirring constantly. For jam, cook fruit and sugar mixture at full rolling boil, stirring constantly, for exact time specified; then remove from fire and stir in Certo. Time boil by the clock. 6. Skim, Pour, Paraffin: Skim and pour directly from the kettle into the clean, freshly scalded glasses. Cool jam, if directed, and ladle into glasses; stirring occasionally in the kettle to distribute fruit. Leave '/Z-inch space at top of each glass. Paraffin at once as directed on page 26.

RELISHES 25 HOW TO SEAL JAMS AND JELLIES FOR PERFECT PROTECTION The best protection you can give your jams and jellies is to seal them with paraffin wax. Follow these directions carefully to avoid any spoilage: 1. Glasses or jars and tin covers should be freshly washed, scalded, and drained before cooking is started. 2. Use only new paraffin, unless old paraffin was washed in hot water after previous use and stored in a tightly covered jar. 3. Melt paraffin in a small pot placed in a pan of boiling water, while jam or jelly is cooking. 4. In pouring jellies or ladling jams into glasses, leave yi inch of clear space at top of each glass to allow for paraffin and to provide space for any possible seep¬ age. 5. As soon as batch is poured into glasses, cover with a Vi inch layer of hot paraffin to protect from dust. When glasses have cooled, add a second heavier coat¬ ing of paraffin, and roll each glass to make the paraffin run around the edges for a perfect seal. Cover with clean tin covers, or with securely fastened papers. 6 * When using air-tight fruit jars for jams, omit paraffin and seal as soon as batch is poured. Then invert jars for io minutes. 7. Store your jams and jellies in a cool, dry place free from dust and mildew. 26 -—. *. - ——- .% - IMPORTANT DO’S AND DONTS FOR JELLY MAKERS DON’T—double Certo recipes. Better color and flavor and perfect results are obtained from single batches. DO—use fully ripe fruit of the best possible color and flavor. Taste fruit, and if it lacks tart ness, add the juice of 2 medium lemons (54 cup) when adding sugar. DO prepare fruit exactly as the recipes direct. Do not simmer before crushing or squeezing unless recipes specify cooking. For crushing fruit, a food chopper is convenient. DO—measure both fruit and sugar exactly with the same standard measuring cup, level full; or weigh both. A standard measuring cup holds 8 fluid ounces of liquid or 7 ounces of sugar by weight. DO—use a large enough kettle so that your mixture has room enough to boil hard . A kettle of 6- to 8-quart capacity is recommended. If the 6-quart size is used for jam, add 54 teaspoon butter with sugar to reduce foaming. DON'T—confuse a gentle simmering boil with the full rolling boil specified in Certo recipes. A full rolling boil is a high, tumbling boil that cannot be stirred down. DO— time the full rolling boil by the clock. DO— cool jams before pouring, as directed, and stir them while they are cooling. This helps to prevent floating fruit. DON'T —expose jellies and jams to dust or damp¬ ness after they are made. Spoilage is caused by the growth of yeast and mold plants, which are usually carried by dust. Use clean glasses, new paraffin, and clean covers. Paraffin hot jelly and jam at once. Fill glasses only to within yi inch of top, so that there will be a space between the paraffin and the tin or paper cover. Store jelly and jam in a cool, dry place. DON'T— judge the texture of your jellies or jams too hastily. Certo recipes are designed to give an ideal set at the time they are most apt to be used. Many grow progressively firmer for a week to a month after they are made. DO —write to Jane Taylor Allen, General Foods, Ltd., Cobourg, Ont., Canada, if you need to remake a batch of jelly or jam. Send copy of the recipe used and sample ( l /i. cup). Sample will be tested and remaking directions sent to you. NOTE: To pack sample for mailing, put X A cup of sample in a screw-top container. Label with name of sample and your name and address. Wrap well in paper and put in a cardboard box, large enough to permit packing securely with crumpled newspaper.

Beyond question, she is the world’s best known authority on this subject. She is glad to answer per¬ sonally any questions addressed to her. Following are sam¬ ple questions addressed her by jelly makers.) ABOUT RECIPES 1. Q. “How may two fruits be combined in a Certo- made jam or jelly?” A. Combine ]/ 2 the amounts of ingredients called for in recipe for each fruit, and proceed according to recipe requiring longer boiling time. Prepare each fruit or juice as directed in recipe for that fruit. 2. Q. “How may a favorite Certo recipe be varied?” A. You may add sliced candied ginger, sliced mar¬ aschino cherries, grated orange rind, or finely chopped nuts when the sugar is added. Or, select coloring which cannot be faded by fruit acids, and add coloring while sugar and fruit mixture is com¬ ing to a boil. 3. O. “How may I obtain recipes not in the Certo recine book?” A. Write to me. I have dozens of interesting ones to send you. 4. Q. “Can I adapt my own favorite recipe to the Certo method?” A. Yes. Write to me for directions. 5. Q. “Can I double a Certo recipe?” A. I do not recommend it. Better color and flavor and more certain results are obtained from mak¬ ing single batches. 29 ABOUT REMAKING A BATCH OF JELLY OR JAM 6 * Q. “Can I remake a batch of unsuccessful jelly or jam by using Certo?” A. Yes, but the fresh fruit flavor and color of these mixtures often have been spoiled by the long cook¬ ing. It is better to use the syrup in some other way and to start with fresh fruit. If you wish to try remaking a long-boil failure, however, send me a sample (A cup) and copy of the recipe used. Sample will be tested and remaking directions sent you. 7* Q. “Can I correct a mistake in using Certo recipe?” A* Yes. If some part of sugar or Certo was omitted, reheat the whole batch to boiling point and add the omitted part. Then bring mixture to full roll¬ ing boil and boil for A minute before pouring. If error is more complicated, write details to me for possible remaking suggestions. If the mistake made is unknown, send sample (A cup) and copy of recipe used to me. Sample will be tested and remaking directions sent you. (Note: To pack sample for mailing, put A cup of sample in a screw-top container. Label with name of sample and your name and address. Wrap well in paper and put in a cardboard box, large enough to permit packing securely with crumpled news¬ paper. Address to me.) ABOUT JELLY OR JAM "SET" 8* Q. “How long should it take my jam or jelly to set?’* A. The Certo recipes are designed to give you a jelly, jam, or marmalade which starts to set the next day, but which reaches the ideal set after three or four weeks. 9. Q. “How may I secure a slightly stiller, more quickly setting jelly?” A. Use A cup less prepared juice than the recipe calls for. Do not vary from other directions. 30 10 . Q. “How ma3 f I soften the texture of a jam?” A. Simply crush the jam with a knife or fork before serving. ABOUT "FLOATING FRUIT" IN JAMS 11 . Q. “How may floating of fruit be lessened?” A. These possible ways: a) crushing fruit thoroughly; b) having full rolling boil for length of time speci¬ fied in recipe; c) cooling and stirring as directed in recipe; d) using fully ripe fruit. ABOUT CHANGES DURING STORAGE 12 . Q. “What causes souring?” A. Growth of yeast and mold plants. To prevent, be sure to: a) time the boil exactly, beginning when mixture reaches full rolling boil; b) use sufficiently large kettle to allow full rolling boil over hottest fire; c) use only clean glasses and covers; d) protect hot surface of poured jelly or jam by paraffining at once; e) avoid using old paraffin, contaminated with yeast and mold; f) avoid storing uncovered glasses in damp or warm place. 13 . Q. “Will the separation of syrup harnfmy jams anc jellies?” A. No, unless yeast and mold start growing on it. To prevent this, do not fill glasses too full; cover well, and store in a cool, dry place free from dust and mildew. The separation of a small amount o! syrup is normal. Excessive separation may be prevented by using fully ripe fruit, and by follow ing the recipe exactly. 31 MRS. A SHOWS MRS. B THAT CERTO PAYS FOR ITSELF Mrs. A and Mrs. B both wanted to make some raspberry jam. Each had 2 quarts of berries to begin with and after cleaning and crushing them each got the same amount of prepared fruit—4 cups. Both Mrs. A and Mrs. B started at 9 o’clock. Mrs. A added 6 cups of sugar to her fruit. Then Mrs. A simply brought her fruit and sugar to a tumbling boil, boiled x for 1 min¬ ute, removed it from the stove and added K bottle of Certo. The jam was done and it had all of the flavor of fresh, ripe fruit Mrs. A was finished at 9.12. Mrs. B added 4 cups of sugar. Then Mrs. B, follow¬ ing the old-fashioned “cup for cup” recipe, had to boil her fruit and sugar about 30 minutes before the jam thickened. This long boiling evaporated more than a third of the jam mixture and car¬ ried off most of the natural fresh fruit flavor in steam. Mrs. B was finished at 9.45. ( Mrs. A got 10 glasses of jam from her 2 quarts of berries. liillllill Mrs. B took 3 times as long and got only 6 glasses of jam. 999199 Mrs. A had shown Mrs. B exactly what she meant when she said, “ Certo really pays for itself!” For advice on jelly or jam making problems, write to Jane Taylor Allen, General Foods, Ltd., Cobourg, Ont., Canada.
