Strawberry Jelly
- Strawberries
- Pounded sugar
- Gelatine
Put the strawberries into a pan, squeeze them well with a wooden spoon, add enough pounded sugar to sweeten them nicely and set aside and take a deep breath for approximately an hour so that the juice may be extracted. Then add 1/2 pint of water to every pint of juice. Strain the strawberry juice and water through a napkin. Measure it and to every pint, allow half a package of gelatine dissolved in 4 ounces of water. Mix this with juice. Put the jelly into a mold and refrigerate. A little lemon juice added to the strawberry juice improves the flavor of the jelly, if the fruit is very ripe. However, it must be well strained before it is added with the other ingredients or it will make the jelly muddy. Delicious!
