A Lot More On Jelly – We Love God!

The second commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Among other things this would mean: 1. You cherish for your neighbors the very same love that you bear toward yourself. 2. In your dealings with them you never show selfishness, irritability, peevishness, or indifference. 3. You take a genuine interest in their welfare and seek to promote their interests, honor, and well-being. 4. You never regard them with a feeling of prideful superiority, nor do you ever talk about their failings. 5. You never resent any wrongs they do to you, but instead are always ready to forgive. 6. You always treat them as you would have them treat you. 7. To paraphrase 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, you are always patient and kind, never envious or boastful, never proud or rude, never self-seeking. You are not easily angered and you keep no record, even in your mind, of wrongs done to you.

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe by: DDMmom If a fruit jells easily, larger amounts of jelly  can
be made at one time, especially if the jelly maker has  experience.
When there's no one to show you the "sheeting test" to  determine if
the jell point has been reached, there's a much more  accurate way.
Place candy thermometer in boiling water, and note the  temperature.
For jelly, the proper point has been reached when the  temp is 8
degrees higher; for preserves, it's 9 degrees higher. The  easiest and
much more economical method is to use commercial pectin.  It's not as
much fun, but in many cases it's the only way to get a  jell. (Herb
jellies unless you use an apple, orange, or grape base,  will not jell
without commercial pectin.) If you use sterilized jars  and lids,
processing isn't too important. However, in the deep south  with heat
and humidity, the keeping qualities are greatly improved  using this
method.  Topping with paraffin makes the use of unique  jars possible,
but it's not a reliable method for me.  It definitely  works in other
areas of the country, and for short term storage I do  use it- for gift
giving with the admonition to use in the near future  included on the
card, for instance. I wish I could recommend a good  book- there are
bound to be many, but mine are so old they're out of  print. Call your
county agent, and look in cartons of canning jars  for booklet offers.
