Jelly Bags And Glasses Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

any · philosophical · 1:14 min

Make a jelly bag from coarse white flannel, pointed on the bottom. Bind the top and sew strong loops to suspend it by. The little hair like threads on the flannel seem to hold every little roughness, making the juice perfectly clear. Have the bag as large as will hang in the kettle. Put a stout stick through the loops and suspend it in the kettle with enough cold water to cover the fruit. Cook until soft, lifting the bag occasionally to stir the fruit about. When the fruit is cooked very soft, suspend the bag in a convenient place to drip till morning. Do not squeeze it. In the morning, add the juice from the bag to that in the kettle, let boil about twenty minutes, add an equal quantity of sugar and boil about ten minutes more. This is the usual way to make jelly.
