To Can Corn

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut corn from cob ; pack cans full, pressing down hard ; steam three hours ; put on rubber ; steam one hour ; seal without removing cover. Mrs. W. D. Hinckley.

  2. W^ash, shell and fill jars ; then place jars under running water and steam as string beans.

  3. Scald and pare tomatoes; cut large ones in quarters and small ones in halves ; add salt to suit taste ; cook only from three to five minutes, after they come to a boil ; can and seal while hot. Tin cans are best, and if care is taken to empty, wash and dry thorough- ly as soon as opened for use, the cans may be used with safety for 4 or 5 years. Mrs. J. Gleave.

  4. Follow above directions, omitting the salt, place in sterilized glass jars, using new rubbers, seal quickly. Keep in a cool dark place.
