Peas and corn. which lose their fla
vor quickly, should be canned with
five hours after being picked. These
two vegetables both require very care
full handling if good results are to be
achieved, this being especially true OF
corn.
Quick action is the preventive meas
ure which must be used if corn Is not
to be soaked, or water-logged. For
this reason. two persons should work
together when canning corn-one per-
son cutting 1t from the cob, and one
person filling the sterilized jars with
it. Quick handling Is also necessary
when blanching it in hot water and
plunging it into the cold, and also IN
placing the jars into the sterilizing
outfit as soon as they are packed.
If the housewife can not have a
helper in this work, however, she
should handle only enough corn at
once to fill one jar; should blanch,
cold dip, fill the jar, pour on boiling
water, add salt, place the rubber and
the cap in position, and put the jar
into the hot water outfit at once-thus
doing only one jar at once In order to
get quick action.
The following are the specific direc-
tons to be followed:
Corn-Remove husk and silk. Blanch
> minutes in hot water, Plunge into
cold water. Cut corn from cob and
pack directly into hot pars to within
u inch Of top of Jar Gill no fuller than
this, as corn expands a little In pro-
cessinul Fill with boiling water Add
