Jam Recipe

Instructions

1. Pick and wash whatever fruit is being used to make jam.
2. If large fruit is used, peel, core, or pit, as the case may be and dice.
3. To each pound of fruit, allow a pound of sugar.
4. Put the sugar into a copper or preserving kettle. Add enough water to dissolve it.
5. Cook until a boiling, thick syrup is produced, then add the fruit.
6. Draw to one side and keep the syrup just below the boiling-point until the fruit becomes transparent.
7. Pour into glasses or jars, cover with paraffin paper, and tie down.
