No. 3308 — Jelly from Redcurrants, Barberries, Stone Brambles, Rowanberries or Cranberries
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3308 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Sort the berries, cover with water, cook until they burst and strain.
For each glass juice take 1 glass fine sugar (½ pound) and cook as usual to the first mark on a wooden measuring splinter.
For a very sweet jelly take 2 glasses fine sugar (1 pound) per glass juice and reduce almost halfway between the two marks.
