Jelly-Bag, How to Make a

The very stout flannel called double-mill, used for ironing blankets, is the best material for a jelly-bag, JELLY-BAG. those of home manufacture are the only ones to be relied on for thoroughly clearing the jelly. Care should be taken that the seam of the bag be stitched twice, to secure it against unequal filtration. The most convenient mode of using the bag is to tie it upon a hoop the exact size of the outside of its mouth; and, to do this, strings should be sewn round it at equal distances, it can then be suspended between two chairs. The jelly-bag may, of course, be made any size; but one of twelve or fourteen inches deep and seven or eight inches across the mouth, will be sufficient for ordinary use. The form of a jelly-bag is the fool's-cap.
