Rowan Jelly. No. 2. “Rodden Jelly.” (1883.)
For game, venison, or Roe deer.
Gather the Rowan berries when quite ripe, quite sound, quite
dry. Pick them from the stalks and put them in a deep pan.
Cover them completely with water and boil until they seem soft,
which will be in 1 to 1½ hours. Mash them slightly and strain
through a flannel bag, giving the bag a squeeze so as to have part
of the pulp. Boil this either directly after straining or next day.
Allow 1 lb. of sugar to 1 pt. of juice, and skim very carefully.
Before putting the jelly into pots, see that it will jelly; some-
times it will not become firm under ⅓ of an hour's boiling;
sometimes it gets firm much quicker. When ready pot it.
It mellows and improves when 1 or even 2 years old.
Miss Lamont, of Pitnurenie, gave this recipe to Mrs. Innes, of
Learney.
