MRS. A SHOWS MRS. B THAT CERTO PAYS FOR ITSELF
Mrs. A and Mrs. B both wanted to make some raspberry jam. Each had 2 quarts of berries to begin with and after cleaning and crushing them each got the same amount of prepared fruit—4 cups.
Both Mrs. A and Mrs. B
started at 9 o’clock.
Mrs. A added 6½ cups of sugar to her fruit. Then Mrs. A simply brought her fruit and sugar to a tumbling boil, boiled for 1 minute, removed it from the stove and added ½ bottle of Certo. The jam was done and it had all of the flavor of fresh, ripe fruit.
Mrs. A was finished at 9:12.
Mrs. B added 4 cups of sugar. Then Mrs. B, following the old-fashioned “cup for cup” recipe, had to boil her fruit and sugar about 30 minutes before the jam thickened. This long boiling evaporated more than a third of the prepared fruit and carried off most of the natural fresh fruit flavor in steam.
Mrs. B was finished at 9:45.
Mrs. A got 10 glasses of jam from her 2 quarts of berries.
Mrs. B took 3 times as long and got only 6 glasses of jam.
Mrs. A had shown Mrs. B exactly what she meant when she said, “Certo really pays for itself!”
