Cloth Tops for Preserves
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would you please give once again your very excellent recipe for preparing calico-tops with which to seal preserved fruit?-J.B. (Christchurch). Place IIb, resin, 20z. beeswax and 2oz. unsalted mutton. tat in an old saucepan, and stand in a pot of water on the stove till melted, stirring all the time. Cut rounds of cloth — calico or flour bags-and smear to within Yin. of the edge with the hot mixture. It dries hard and stiff, and can be packed away in boxes till wanted. To use, have bottles of fruit filled to overflowing, place’ the covers on top and press down firmly. -Tie round with string. The boiling fruit melts the wax and holds it in place.
