Canning Household Hint

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on August 29, 2006

When making jelly or preserves – after cooking is completed, remove pan from flame and allow a minute or two for the foam to rise to the top.

Tear off a section of paper towel, and pat carefully on surface of jelly or preserves.

Have a bowl ready to receive the discard, lift paper by the corners and foam will adhere to the paper.

Repeat till all foam is removed. No waste and much easier than removing with a spoon.
