Vintage Recipe

(As it was written many moons ago)

This recipe is well worth trying, the result is a delicious jelly/jam that tastes great in sandwiches or on scones.

Apparently, years ago if you didn't own a jelly bag, a nylon stocking worked just as well. I suspect, nowadays, its easier to find a jelly bag.

Bramble Jelly

Choose ripe, but not over-ripe berries, pick over carefully, and bake slowly in the oven till soft.

Pour into the jelly bag a little at a time, as it runs best while hot; remove the refuse from one lot before putting in the next.

When all juice has been secured, add 1 lb sugar to each pint and boil till set.
