Don't Waste Pulp from Jelly Bag!
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have so often heard you stress the need of making the most of our fruit and vegetables, and seeing a letter in The Listener one week from a lady who made a syrup for drinking, from fruit used for making jelly, I thought I would pass on to you my idea. When we lived in town, and fruit mostly had to be bought, I used to think it such a dreadful thing to have to throw out the contents of the jelly bag, especially as we had neither animals nor fowls to eat the same. So I conceived the idea of put-
ting the pulp through a sieve, and making either jam or chutney with it. For jam, allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to two large cups of pulp; and for chutney take two cups of pulp as equal to one pound of ordinary fruit, and add the rest of your favourite chutney ingredients. I tell you, it works splendidly, and good jam and chutney is the result. The putting of the pulp through the sieve works wonders, and removes the stones and most of the skins, or pips.

An excellent idea; thank you for passing it on so clearly, giving us the proper proportions to use.
