June 24, 1954 Whole Strawberry Jam, Heavenly Strawberry Jam, Rhubarb and Strawberry Conserve

Whole Strawberry Jam

Editor's Note:  There is a lot of damage on my copy of this recipe. I do not know quantities of strawberries or vinegar.

Strawberries
Vinegar
4 c. sugar

Wash and hull berries, leave whole. Add vinegar. Boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Let stand 48 hours, stir frequently. Bring quickly to a boil and pour immediately into hot sterilized glasses. Seal with paraffin.


Heavenly Strawberry Jam

Wash, drain and hull 4 c. strawberries. Put them in a large kettle, cover with 5 c. sugar, let stand 3 hours. Put over low heat, bring to a boil, and boil for just 8 minutes. Add 1/2 c. lemon juice and boil 2 minutes. Cool slightly, skim, stir to keep berries from floating. Pour into hot sterilized glasses.


Rhubarb and Strawberry Conserve

2 c. diced rhubarb
1 c. seedless raisins
3 c. sugar
2 oranges
4 c. strawberries
1/4 c. chopped walnuts

Combine rhubarb, raisins, sugar, the grated rind and sections of the oranges free from membranes. Let stand 12 hours or overnight. Next day add strawberries and cook slowly until the mixture is quite thick, stirring frequently. Stir in nuts and pour into hot sterilized glasses; seal with paraffin.
