10. Let the jam cool, and pour it into jars.

To Render Down Fat. Method.—Take any pieces of fat, cooked or uncooked, cut them up and remove all skin and any pieces of meat there may be on them, put them in a saucepan with enough water to come halfway up the fat, put on the lid and boil for half an hour; take off the lid and let the water boil away; when the pieces of fat are brown and crisp, take the saucepan off the fire and let the contents cool a little; strain off the liquid fat into an earthenware pan or tin. This can be used again and again for deep fat frying, if strained after each using, and will keep for a long while. It is excellent for cakes and pastry.
