In order to extract the juice from damsons they should be sliced and placed in a jar or basin and put in the oven.

They are best left in the oven all night.

If the mould of jelly is made in a round basin, a single whole damson can be placed on the top of the mould and green leaves placed round the base.
PINE-APPLE JELLY .-- The syrup from a preserved pine, should the pine-apple itself be used for mixing with other fruits, or for ornamental purposes, can be utilised by being made into a mould of jelly and by being thickened with corn-flour.

It will bear the addition of a little water.
APRICOT JELLY .-- The juice from tinned apricots can be treated like that of pine-apple.

When a mixture of fruits is served in a large bowl, the syrup from tinned fruits should not be added, but at the same time, of course, should be used in some other way.
MULBERRY JELLY .-- Mullberries, of course, would not be bought for the purpose, but those who possess a mulberry tree in their garden will do well to utilise what are called windfalls by making mulberry jelly.
