Strawberry Jam. ✠
For every pound of fruit three-quarters of a pound of sugar.
1 pint red currant juice to every 4 pounds strawberries.
Boil the juice of the currants with the strawberries half an hour, stirring all the time. Add the sugar when you have dipped out nearly all the juice, leaving the fruit quite dry, and boil up rapidly for about twenty minutes, skimming carefully. Put in small jars, with brandied tissue-paper over the top.
You can omit the currant juice, but the flavor will not be so fine.
