Jam Combinations

The good housewives of Southern France, Provence,--and of the part near Bar-le-Duc, which is famous for its preserves,--have many secrets of combining two flavors by long boiling of the fruits. This results in a very fine marmalade, little known over here. Indeed, almost every old lady has her special kind which she offers to guests, saying: "My grandmother made it so!" Some of these combinations are given, and if tried, will be found delightful: 1. Black Currant and Apples. 2. Black Currant and Rhubarb. 3. Cherry and Raspberry. 4. Red Currants and Raspberry. 5. White Currants and Gooseberries. 6. Lemon and Green Gages. 7. Apple and Quinces. 8. Rhubarb and Orange. 9. Lemon and Apple. 10. Apricot and Plum.
