The secret is to never boil the fruit
before putting it into the can Select
perfect fruit just ripe, peel, and to cv-
cry pound OF fruit use one quarter of a
pound Of white sugar. Mix the sugar
with little water and let it come to boil
for fifteen minutes, to form syrup We
use 8 lass cans; put in the peaches and fill

from coming in contact with the bottom of
the hot kettle. Gradually fetch to boil,

Boil twenty minutes, then fill the can with
hot syrup and seal up while the steam issues
from the can. See that the rubber is Oh
properly. They will keep well.
