Many fruits delicious in flavor, such as strawberries and pine- apples, if used alone, will not make a firm jelly because they lack pectin. If pectin is added to their juice, a firm jelly with the color and flavor of the fruit se- lected can be made. Pectin in large quantities can be obtained from oranges and grade fruit skins. Cut or scrape the yellow rind from the_peel. Put the white portion through the food chopper and weigh. For each pound add two pounds of water and four teaspoons of lemon juice. ’Mix thoroughly and allow it to stand 15 minutes. Add two pounds ‘more of water, boil 10 minutes and let stand over night. _ Next morning boil 10 minutes Jand allow to cool. Press to re- move juice and then drain juice through a flannel bag. If not de- | sired for immediate use, boil and seal while hot. For jelly, use equal parts of the pectin extract and the desired fruit juice. Boil, add sugar and continue as with any jelly.— Uaited States Department of Ag- riculture. fmportant in jelly making to use un- derripe fruit because in overripe the pectin begius to lose its jelly making quality.

[ Wash 'all large hard fruits by put- tlng._q_,gmall quantity at a time into a colander or sieve and pouring cold water:over them. Prepare only as much of the fruit or ‘vegetable as can be canned while it 'still retains its color and freshness. Before preparing the product, have the sirup ready to fill the jars, if fruit is being canned, or the brine in case of vegetables. Sirups vary in propor- tions, to suit individual tastes, from 2 cups of sugar in 4 quarts of water, to 13 cups of sugar in 4 quarts of water. The brine used to fill the jars of vegetables is made from 2% ounces of salt and 1 gallon of water, exceptv!or asparagus, which requires a heavier brine (4 ounces of salt to 1 gallon of water). If practicable pare fruit with a sil- ver knife 80 as not to stain or darken the product. 1 Many kinds of peaches may be peeled _easily by droppiug in boiling water .about one minute, or wuntil skins slip: easily.

In her eighteenth year she was_ married to Joseph Alston, afterward governor of South Carolina. She was 'a devoted and adored wife. The ‘ttial of her father for treason and his virtual banishment not only de- pressed - her spirits but fearfully wrecked her already feeble constitu- tion, yet his disgrace in no. way les- sened her affection. When he re turned from Europe -she resolved to visit him In New York. Embarking from Soath Carolina on the Patriot, _or. the thirteenth day of January, 1813, she was never heard of afterward.
