Prepapred fruit Sugar Place your grapes in a large enamelized pot and add sufficient water to cover. Bring slowly to a full boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until very tender, stirring frequently. Press through a coarse sieve, to remove skins and seeds, then turn pulp and juice into a jelly bag. Drain well but do not squeeze the bag or jully will be cloudy. Measure juice - for each 6 cups of juice add 4-1/2 cups sugar. Set over high heat and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard until jelly falls lazily from the spoon in “sheets” (220F. on thermometer). Remove from heat and skim. Seal in hot sterilized jars.

Raw cleaned calfs feet chopped up, put to boil in cold water with a stick of cinnamon and the rind of a lemon, boiled till soft, and the liquor well reduced, strain, allowed to get cold, then all fat and skimmings removed, the liquor which should have become like jelly then put back into a bright kettle with some beaten whites of eggs, sugar to taste, little white wine and lemon juice, brought slowly to the boil without stirring, then allowed to simmer till the coagulation turns a grey color, about twenty minutes , then strained and restrained through a jelly bag; when nearly cool, filled into glasses or molds, and served when set and cold. **The hoof is split with a knife, then treated the same as calfs head; when done, the bones removed, and the meat pressed between boards.

3 1/2 c Sugar

1 c Cider vinegar

3/4 c Sweet pepper slices

1/2 c Hot pepper slices

1 Packet (1/2 bottle) Certo

-liquid pectin Simmer sugar, vinegar and peppers very slowly for 10 minutes stirring to be sure all sugar is well dissolved. Turn off heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil and add Certo. Boil 1 minute. Cool and stir with non-metal spoon 5 minutes. Check that it comes of the spoon in a ribbon or sheet. If not, cook it a bit more. Pour into jars and seal, or pour into freezer containers and freeze (thats what I do). Note: the peppers are seeded and sliced 1/4 inch thick with a knife or on a mandoline, for a marmalade effect. I like to use red and yellow peppers for color, or all green. Mixing red and green isn as pretty as you might think it would be, as it makes the jelly browner. I have substituted home made pectin, which seems to work fine, if it is the same consistency as the Certo. It just tends to be pinker. I make that by boiling apple skins and cores in as little water as possible, with a lid on, and then cooling it and pressing the juice out through a sieve and saving it in a bottle in the fridge till I have enough. How much is enough? About a cup of the home made pectin, as I recall. If the stuff doesn jell right I save it in the fridge, then later add more pectin and more sugar and cook it until it sheets right. –Helen Fleischer
