To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuma Dany News."
Sm—In your number of May 25, under the Heading. "Mildew: On Strawberry Jam," DISCARDED CONTENTS asks whether anything can be done to retrieve strawberry jam which has mildew on the surface. Like him. my heart sinks to think of 4 Ibs of fresh strawberry jam having to be thrown away; it is one of my favourite kinds of jam.
The mildew which often forms on jams when more or less exposed to the air is absolutely harmless. It is very similar to. that on Roquefort cheese. If only a small amount has formed it can be skimmed off as it gives an unpleasant flavour to the jam. If a larger amount is present and has been there for some time, it may be necessary to recook the jam after having removed the mildew.
The mildew grows on the surface of the jam from spores that fall from the air on to the surface. This may be prevented by pouring melted parafine on the jam while still hot. Jars should always be covered with paper stuck on. or a metal cap. fo keep dust from gathering.
I hope this information will reach DiscaRpED Contents in time to prevent his losing any more of the pleasures of strawberry jam at tea.
