LAST SUMMER / saw where q

to shell peas by the washing ma

I use my washing machine wiring

they get flimsy and I can squeeze
the peas out easily. have the water
just scalding hot, put the peas in
washer and pour the water over
them. When they have been in the
hot water long enough I drain the
water off and pour cold water over
them so can handle the peas, then
l drain off the water again.
Then I'm ready to start the ma
chine and run the peas through the
wringer. The empty pods go through
the wringer and the peas into the
washing machine. 1t is so simple
this way. have canned Is quarts
