String Beans

String the beans, break them into inch lengths, pour over them boiling water and boil fifteen minutes. Have the jars ready filled with hot water thoroughly to heat them. Turn out the water and quickly fill the jars with the beans, adding as little as possible of the water in which they were boiled. Fill the cans until they are overflowing. Fasten on the tops and set away.

BEANS-Boil young string beans until quite tender. Then put them into cans, fasten down the tops and boil two hours. PEAS-Can in the same manner as beans. (See recipe above.)
