RHUBARB JAM.

Dear Emmeline, — I noticed your reply to a correspondent ro rhubarb jam. Allow me to givj you a recipe that I got years ago from. Mrs J. H. Lowe (lately gone to India): — 10lb rhubarb wiped clean and cut up, Jib dry pre-

seive-l ginger cut up, Sib sugar; sprinkle the sugar over the ihubarb, and leave over night, pour off the juice next day and boil up ;' pour this when boiling back over the rhubarb; repeat this the next day (Mrs Lowe did it three tints); then when the juice is boiling, put the rhubarb hi and boil till it nearly sets. I have had jam made like this last good for three and four years. •

Those wtio have small fruits, but suffer from birds or small boys, may bs glad to know that a good dark-coloured jelly can be made from xinrii:3 red currants and green gooseberries (mis°d). -INTERESTED. Dunedin, December 11.
