Attach canning labels to the lids instead
of the sides of jelly jars to prevent the chore
of removing the labels when the contents are
gone.
Jams and Jellies
When boiling jellies and jams, a large glass
marble placed in the pan is better than stirring
with a spoon to prevent burning.
To determine when the jell point has been
reached, put a little mixture on a very cold
plate and draw a path through it with a knife.
It the path stays and the jelly does not run
together, the jell point has been reached.
Pickles
A ball of nylon net cleans and smoothes cucumbers
when making pickles.
