American Medium Mrs. F.L. Gillette

To Can Peas

Original Recipe

Fill the can full of peas, shake the can so they can be filled well. You cannot press the peas in the can as you did the corn, but by shaking the cans they may be filled quite full. Pour into the cans enough cold water to fill to overflowing, then screw the cover tight as you can with your thumb and first finger and proceed exactly as in canning corn. String beans are cut as for cooking and canned in the same manner. No seasoning of salt, pepper or sugar should be added. Mary Currier Parsons.
