15. Preparation of Orange Pectin. Miss Agnes Harris, Assistant State Agent of Florida, in charge of Home Extension work, sent Miss James a box of jellies and jams that her girls had made, and a pamphlet of recipes.
Use 1/4 lb. white orange peel; 1/2 pt. water; 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Cut or scrape the yellow from the peel of the orange. Pass the remaining white portion through a food chopper; then weigh it. For each 1/4 lb. of the peel, add 1/2 pt. of water. Add the lemon juice, mix thoroughly, and allow to stand 1 hr. Add 11/4 pts. of water. Let stand 1 hr., boil 10 minutes, and then let stand until cold. Place in a flannel jelly bag, press to remove the juice, and drain juice through a clean, flannel jelly bag. It may be prepared, poured into jars while hot, sealed, and kept for later use.
For strawberry and orange pectin jelly use 1/2 pt. orange pectin; 1/2 lb. sugar; 1/2 pt. strawberry juice. Mother and I are experimenting with pineapple, cherry juice, and other fruits.
The alcohol pectin test. Pour a teaspoonful of fruit juice, when cooled, into a clean cup, and pour in a teaspoonful of grain alcohol of 95% strength. Mix by gently shaking; then pour into a spoon. For jelly, if the pectin is in a solid lump, it is safe to add equal parts of sugar and juice; if it has not gathered in one lump, use less sugar, - say 3/4 sugar to 1 of juice.
