Jelly Making Tips from a Vintage Guide
The guide states sugar need not be heated before adding to fruit juice in jelly making. Heating sugar only speeds boiling. If juice is boiling when sugar is added, boiling slows briefly, then resumes rapidly until jelly forms in about 5 to 10 minutes or less.
Glass Surface Cleanup Advice
Paint and varnish spatters on glass may be dissolved with turpentine or alcohol, or rubbed off with a dull knife.
