Let boil half hour. Handling gently so as not to break them, place them in the large mouth jars. A half teaspoon of canning acid placed on top of the fruit insures their keeping. These are fine for stuffing during the winter. The red peppers may be canned also by cutting out the seeds and boiling an hour. Seal in pint cans. An excellent addition and garnish to any salad. TO CAN CORN One gallon of corn cut from the cob, three-fourths pint of salt, two pints of water. Boil briskly for twenty minutes, put in jars and seal. Before using soak well in water to remove salt. This is as nice as fresh corn. CANNED TOMATOES Pour boiling water over firm, ripe tomatoes and skin. Remove part of the stem, drop in sterilized jars and set in kettle of hot water and boil for thirty minutes. Set out jars, remove tops and fill jars running over with freshly boiling water. Seal perfectly air tight. CANNED PEARS Boil pears in clear water until you can just pierce them with a straw. Have on stove another vessel with sweetened water, about one-fourth pound of sugar to every pound of fruit. Place pears in jars, using a fork to handle. Fill jars running over with the sweetened water and be sure to remove all air bubbles. Seal air tight. CANNED BEANS Take young, tender beans, free from blemishes, string thoroughly and break into small pieces. Wash well, put in kettle and cover with boiling water. Allow one pint of salt to every twelve pints of beans, cook two hours or longer, adding salt about one-half hour before removing beans from the fire. Sterilize jars, tops and rubbers, overflow cans of beans with the salted water and seal air tight. CANNED BEANS Pack nice, tender, young beans, free from blemishes, tightly in sterilized jars. Fill jars full of cold sterilized water. Seal and stand in a vessel of cold water, bring to a boil and boil four hours. Let stand in water until cool enough to handle, then tighten tops and set away in the dark. ( 72 ) HOWERY-TAYLOR MILLING CO., Inc.
