3 cups (1½ lbs.) prepared fruit
5 cups (2¼ lbs.) sugar
½ bottle Certo
To prepare fruit, slice fine or chop about 2 pounds rhubarb. Do not
peel. Red-stalked rhubarb gives the best color. Add 1 cup sugar; let
stand 15 minutes. This cup of sugar is in addition to the 5 cups
specified above. If desired, add 1 teaspoon ginger. Red coloring may be
added, use coloring which fruit acids do not fade. Measure sugar into
large kettle, then prepared fruit, solidly packed, filling up each cup
with water. Mix well and bring to a _full rolling boil_ over hottest
fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute.
Remove from fire and stir in Certo. Stir and skim for 5 minutes. Pour
quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 8 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
