Carrageen Pudding With Rhubarb And Rosehip Jelly
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pt Milk 1 Strip lemon peel 1/2 oz Prepared dried carrageen * 1 tb Sugar 1 Egg 2 Sticks rhubarb ** 4 tb Rosehip or redcurrant jelly
Procedure:
*Note: Carrageen is a purple-brown or green fronded seaweed common on Scottish beaches on the mid-tide line. It can be used to set and delicately flavour a jelly or thicken a soup. If you gather your own fresh, you will need about 2 oz to set a pint of milk. Dried carrageen is available in health-food stores, or Chinese supermarkets in processed form, as agar-agar.
**Rhubarb sticks should be sliced and lightly poached with additional sugar.
Bring the milk to the boil with the lemon rind. Stir in the carrageen and cook for a couple of minutes until the milk thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Add sugar. Allow the mixture to cool until it is at blood temperature (100 F, 40 C). Whisk the egg till frothy and then whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a cold-wetted ring-mould. Then put it in the fridge to set - it will only take about 1/2 hour. Run hot water over the outside of the mould and turn out the jelly. Fill the middle of the ring with a ladleful of rhubarb compote and surround with a little scarlet sauce of rosehip or redcurrant jelly melted in a little hot water.
Blueberry and Rhubarb Jam
Ingredients:
1.00 L rhubarb (about 700 g) 2.00 L blueberries (about 1.4 kg) 250.00 mL water 1.00 L sugar

When jam stage is reached remove from heat. Stir and skim 5 min. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Cool and seal. May be stored up to 1 year.
Alternate methods for determining jam stage: 1. The temperature test - mixture should reach 102C to 104C. 2. The plate test - use a cold plate from freezer. Pour a small amount of boiling mixture onto plate. Return to freezer; wait 1 min, then check for gelling. If gelling has not occurred return sample to kettle and continue to boil, testing every 2 min. Note: When using this test, remove kettle from heat. Makes about 3 L.

Making Jams and Jellies With Added Pectin
Fresh fruits and juices as well as commercially caned or frozen fruit juice can be used with commercially prepared powdered or liquid pectins. The order of combining ingredients depends on the type of pectin used. Complete directions for a variety of fruits are provided with packaged pectin. Jelly or jam made with added pectin requires less cooking and generally gives a larger yield. These products have more natural fruit flavors, too. In addition, using added pectin eliminates the need to test hot jellies and jams for proper gelling. Adding 1/2 teaspoon of butter or margarine with the juice and pectin will reduce foaming. However, these may cause off-flavor in a long-term storage of jellies and jams. Recipes available using packaged pectin include:
Jellies--Apple, crab apple, blackberry, boysenberry, dewberry, currant, elderberry, grape, mayhaw, mint, peach, plum, black or red raspberry, loganberry, rhubarb, and strawberry.
Jams--Apricot, blackberry, boysenberry, dewberry, loganberry, red raspberry, youngberry, blueberry, cherry, currant, fig, gooseberry, grape, orange marmalade, peach, pear, plum, rhubarb, strawberry, and spiced tomato.
Be sure to use Mason canning jars, self-sealing two-piece lids, and a 5-minute process (corrected for altitude, as necessary) in boiling water. For more information about jams and jellies see "Preparing butters, jams, jellies, and marmalades".
Purchase fresh fruit pectin each year. Old pectin may result in poor gels. Follow the instructions with each package and the process times recommended below:
Recommended process time for Jellies and Jam with Added Pectin in a boiling-water canner:
Style of Pack: Hot. Jar Size: Half-pints or Pints. Process Time at Altitudes of 0 - 1,000 ft: 5 min. 1,001 - 6,000 ft: 10 min. Above 6,000 ft: 15 min.

Rhubarb, Rose, and Strawberry Jam
Ingredients:
2 lb Rhubarb, trimmed weight 1 lb Small strawberries, slightly underripe 1/2 lb Highly scented rose petals 1 1/2 lb Sugar 4 sm Juicy lemons
Procedure:
Rhubarb is an unreliable setter so the inclusion of lemon juice in this recipe is essential and I like to play it safe by cooking the lemon pips with the fruit in order to extract their pectin. Slice the rhubarb and layer it in a large bowl with the whole hulled strawberries and the sugar. Pour on the lemon juice, cover and leave overnight.
Tip the contents of the bowl into a preserving pan. Add the lemon pips tied in a muslin bag and bring gently to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes then tip the contents of the pan back into the bowl. Cover and leave in a cool place over night once more.
Put the rhubarb and strawberry mixture back into the pan. Pinch out the white tips from the bases of the rose petals and add the petals to the pan, pushing them well down among the fruit. Bring to the boil and fast boil until setting point is reached, then pot in warm sterilised jars in the usual way. Makes enough to fill 6 or 7 jars.

Sterilization of Empty Jars
To sterilize empty jars, place them right side up on the rack in a boiling-water canner. Fill the canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 feet. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional minute for each additional 1,000 feet elevation. Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time as filled.
