Cook’s Question
QUESTION Mrs. Paul Mast, Morgantown, would
like to know how to keep Red Beet Jelly from tasting
sugary. She said that she made the jelly the same as
other years, but this past year, it was sugary. She tried
re-heating it in the microwave and although the jelly was
smooth for a few days, it again got sugary. She writes:
We love the jelly when it’s smooth. Here is the recipe
that she uses.
3 cups beet juice
4 cups sugar
1 package Sure Jell
6 ounces black raspberry Jell-0
Bring juices to a rolling boil. Add the Jell-0 and the
pectin. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from
heat and add the sugar. Stir well and pour into jars.

may result in thatch accumula
tion,” but because the clippings
decompose rapidly, they do not
contribute to thatch.”
For clippings to break down
rapidly, the lawn must be mowed
frequently enough so that large
amounts of leaf residue don’t
remain on the surface of the turf.
Weekly mowing often isn’t fre
quent enough, especially during
the peak period of leaf growth in
spring.
When you’re mowing, you
shouldn’t take off more than one
third of the leaf blade at one time.
Otherwise, you may scalp the
grass and make it more vulnerable
to stress.
If no herbicides have been
applied to the grass, homeowners
can rake the clippings and use
them as mulch around trees,
shrubs or flowers.
Lawn mower manufacturers
now offer mulching mowers that
keep the clippings circulating
under the mower deck, chopping
the grass blades into finer pieces.
This hastens the decomposition of
the clippings and reduces the
amount of residue left on the lawn,
however, you don’t have to buy a
mulching mower to recycle clip
pings. Ordinary lawn mowers also
will provide good results.
