BERRY JAMS
WITH LESS SUGAR back on the amount of sugar
I have received many calls called for in jam recipes.
HOW LONG SHOULD A
FARROWING CRATE LAST?
Over the years, there's one thing in particular
farmers have told us they want from a
confinement system DURABILITY to last
long enough to return their investment many
times over
So we've built our systems to do just that We
installed the farrowing crates pictured m
this ad six years ago They ought to be good
for at least another six We set up our first confinement farrowing
systems in the 60's They're still m operation today
When you price a confinement finishing, farrowing, or nursery
system, remember this
WHAT A SYSTEM COSTS DEPENDS UPON HOW LONG IT LASTS

complete information on Northco's hog confinement systems
They're built to LAST

You cannot reduce the
amount of sugar called for in
a tested recipe without
jeopardizing your results.
Sugar helps in gel formation,
serves as a preserving
agent, and contributes to the
flavor. It also has a firming
effect on the fruit.
I want to share two jam
recipes with you which I
recently discovered. One
recipe uses Vs cup sugar and
the other uses a sugar
substitute. I personally do
not think either one produces
xhe same quality jam that
you get when you use sugar.
However, if you are counting
calories or are a diabetic and
cannot face breakfast
In small bowl sprinkle un
flavored gelatin over cold
water, let stand one minute.
Add to strawberry mixture
and heat, stirring until
gelatin is completely
dissolved. About three
minutes. Let jam stand five
minutes, skimming off foam
with a spoon. Ladle into jars.
Cover and cool slightly
ingredients to dissolve. Add before refrigerating.
without jam for your toast.
I’m sure you will be happy to
have these recipes in your
collection.
