BRANCHING
This is one of the new methods which
is considered very important. The fruit
or vegetable to be canned is put for
certain time into boiling water and then
dipped quickly in and out of cold water
before placing IN the Jars.
Branching has four advantages:
/. 1t reduces the bulk and thus al
lows of packing more into jar.
,. 1t improves the flavor and color.
3 It gives irmness to the fruit.
{. It makes keeping more certain.
