Green Gooseberry Jam
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am enclosing a recipe for green gooseberry jam. It is the best I have ever had, so thought I’d pass it on to you. Six pounds of gooseberries, 6 pints of water, 10lb. of sugar. Boil the sugar and water for a little while, then add the fruit, and boil till red, then test to see if it will jell. Half the quantity makes quite a lot of jam. Boil very quickly. | I have also been reading about the trouble some of your listeners have had with their maidenhair fern. I had some in pots in the house some years ago, but got very disheartened when they didn’t do too well. Of course, sometimes, being busy, I’d forget to water them, and I have found out since, that they are great drinkers. Well, I took them out of the pots, and planted them in the shadiest place I could find near the house, and kept them covered from the frost. In no time I had a patch of maidenhair ferns that was the envy of everyone who saw them. I had also kept them sheltered from draughts, A few. months ago, I thought I’d try them again in a pot. This time I watered them every morning, giving them a whole pint of water, and they are beautiful. I have given dozens of roots away.
