JAM AND THE GAS
Sir,-Just before the meat recipe the other morning there was a little reminder asking for economy from users of electricity. Now and then we get the same request about gas, either by radio or through the medium of the daily papers. I found this in a recent number of The Listener-Aunt Daisy’s page. Quince Conserve-"Allow 1 pint water and 144lb, sugar to each IIb. fruit. Boil together 2 or 3 hours." Why put in so much water. If you do, you must boil for a lengthy period to evaporate
the excess water. There is not only waste in fuel but vitamins are impaired. I know a capable housewife who has been making jam for over 30 years, and her rule is-1lb. of sugar to 1lb. of fruit, boil for half an hour. She does add 4 little water to blackcurrants and quinces. Her recipe for Quince Honey gives 1 pint water to 5lb. quinces and 5lb. sugar. Boil for 20 minutes. And her quince honey and jams are par excellence. Aunt Daisy’s recipe for Quince Honey says-‘"Boil for about 2 hours." I have noticed this tendency for lengthy cooking frequently on her page.
