Jelly Making
I started some orange marmalade a month or so ago that did not set. It
is sitting on the counter waiting for me to recook the stuff. One batch did set. I made 51/2 pints of Rhubarb and blood orange. Looks neat. My next project was rhubarb jelly. Got 7 1/2 pints of that. Right now I have rhubarb and strawberries dripping for jelly. Can you guess that I am trying to use up my strawberries and rhubarb. I also made the rhubarb cake from the recipe that Barb Schaller has posted several time. This time I added strawberries. I was great. -- Susan N.

My favorite varieties for jam & jelly are Seneca, GW5, and Niagara for white jelly, and Price, NY Muscat, Buffalo, Concord and Steuben for red jelly.

The recipe is from So Easy to Preserve, page 205. Mine is a little soft but not too bad. I will open one and try it as soon as I finish a couple of other ones. BTW I made the rhubarb cake and also used strawberries, about half and half. Very good. -- Susan N.

Okay, I just looked at the recipe. Wow! Does it take forever and two days to drip through? Do you grind or blend it? Seems like blending it would render it thick mush that wouldn't drain.

I mashed the strawberries, but the results weren't too good. I was wishing I had put them in the blender and maybe then mashed. Both were fresh from the garden. -- Susan N.
