No. 3318 — Wild Strawberry Jelly, Another Method
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3318 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Instead of mashing the berries, some cooks put them into glass jars with an opening in the bottom, tie paper over the mouths and place them in a gently heated oven after bread.
When the juice separates and the berries rise to the top, let the juice out through the lower opening and cook as described in recipe No. 3317.
Historical editorial note: Heating perforated glass vessels in an oven is a historical method, not a recommended present-day practice.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 3318. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
