"Hints for Jam making
Typed by Michael ZL1ABS
1. Always gather fruit on a fine day. It should not be over-ripe.
2. Wipe fruit with a damp cloth.
3. Fruit should be partly cooked before sugar is added.
4. Bring fruit to boiling point slowly to avoid burning.
5. Always use a wooden spoon for stirring.
6. When sugar is added, boil as rapidly as possible. Rapid boiling
improves colour and flavour of jam.
7. Instead of skimming jam, stir in a piece of butter the size of a walnut
when jam is cooked.
8. To test jam, put a little on a saucer. When cool, a skin should form on
top.
9. Jam jars must be sterilized and thoroughly dry.
10. Put jam into warm jars and cover while hot. "
From my mother's old New Zealand cookery book (1956 edition), printed by a
maker of baking powder, custard powder, cornflour and jelly crystals.
