which stick up above the hot water.
This basket makes an excellent false
bottom and at the same time enables
the housewife without trouble to lift
several jars in or out of the hot-water
bath at one time.
With such equipment, a clean, airy
kitchen and utensils, or q fire and clean
tables in a shady clean place out of
doors, the housewife will need only to
follow directions carefully, work quick
ly, and be ever watchful of sanitary
conditions, to can and preserve garden
products successfully. When the re-
auired temperature to sterilize (boil,
steam) various products is reached,
they must be held for the length of
time stated in processing (heating)
timetables, and the jars must be seal
ed air-tIght Immediately after the pro-
cessing.
Some steps in the procedure may
seem unnecessary to the amateur, but
the operations of blanching, boiling or
steaming of jars attention to rubber
rings, and final sealing have an impor-
tant function in aiding to kill molds,
yeasts, and bacteria and in preventing
their re-entry into the food.
Since all successful canning is de-
pendent upon sterilization by means Of
heat, II is most important to apply suf-
ficient heat to make the products ster-
lie. DO not let filed Jars cool before
they are sealed. Seal them tight while
they are still hot from the bath. The
hotter the pFcGact when sealed the
