Making Jellies (without fruit)
| This will make a jelly so much resembling that made from the
juice of the fruit that anyone will be astonished, and when fruit cannot be got, it will
take its place admirably. Neighbors eat of it and are perfectly astonished at its beauty
and palatableness. Take water, 1 pt., and add to it pulverized alum, 1/4 oz., and boil a minute or two; then add 4 lbs. of crushed white or coffee sugar, continue the boiling a little, strain while hot; and when cold put in half of a two shilling bottle of extract of vanilla, strawberry, or lemon, or any other flavor you desire for jelly. |
