 JELLY STRAINER NO. 1

An old chair is generally used to hang the jelly bag over while the juice is dripping. As a substitute the device shown in the following illustration is suggested as being more convenient and sanitary in every way. It not only provides a place for the bag to hang, but it also has a shelf on which the pan sits to catch the drippings from the bag. The legs are adjustable; hence it is easily taken apart and kept in a small space. This makes the strainer especially convenient to the Canning Club Agent as she goes her daily rounds teaching the housekeepers the art of jelly-making. It can be easily made at home and at a little cost.



3' poplar. 12 No. 10 screws, 2-1/4", to fasten the adjustable legs to the shelves. 8 No. 9 screws, 1", to fasten braces to the top of strainer, 1 yd. white flannel for the jelly bag. 1 piece of white tape to make loops on bag.
