Vegetable Preparation and Processing
*See Directions Below)
Home-grown vegetables are be
ginning to push their way out of the
soil in your own
come the realiza
tion that you can "put up" most of
your points for rext winter if you
can them now.
Because pressure cookers are un
rationed this year, most homemak
ers will use them for processing
vegetables. That is all to the good,
fir the use of the pressure cooker
cuts down processing time, and in
sures more success in canning if
properly used
Non-Acid Vegetables.
Before getting into the fundamen
tals of canning, we must understand
the difference between acid and non
acid vegetables Tomatoes are in
the acid group, but the others, green
beans, corn, peas, etc., are all non
acid, and require processing under
pressure so that they will keep.
Fresh Vegetables.
Selection of the vegetable for can
ning is one •.f the important steps.
You will be much more careful of
what vegetables you put up, if you
remember these two points:
1. You get out of your can only
what you put into ;t, 1. e , if you can
an old. withered ear of corn, then
that s what you'll have when you
open the jar.
2. Canning, at best, does not im
prove your food: :t only preserves
it.
Sill'*? f'«»*« F'Hi!
Short Route to Jar.
Another old maxim that comes in
handy during canning time is the
ore which goes, "two hours from
garden to can." That means that
you pick the vegetables from your
garden and start canning immedi
ately.
if you buy vegetables, get to the
market early, and select those that
come in fresh in the morning. Take
them home and get them started on
their way to the jar as fast as pos
sible.
Incidentally, if you are using your
iwn Victory garden as a supply
base for canning i
vegetables, be >
sure to pick them ! "W"* I
in the morning —'•
while the ir.orn
ing dew is still
3n then.. Picking
them later ir. the F ■
day, after the sun has dried out
some of their natural moisture, will
not give nearly as good results.
Preparation Required.
1. It's a good idea to wash jars
first in hot soapy suds and check
them for nicks and cracks. All
canning equipment may be prepared
a day ahead to have everything in
readiness when canning actually be
gins.
2. Prepare vegetable as directed
*n chart above. In many cases pre
cooking is recommended to shrink
the vegetable and set the color.
Lynn Says:
Are you perplexed as to how
many jars you should have for
canning? How much will the
vegetable make when "put up?"
Here are some guides:
Asparagus—l 2 pounds yields 6
pints "stalk," or 2 pints "cut."
Beets—l bushel makes 40 pint
jars, cut in thin slices.
Corn—loo ears of Golden Ban
tam yields about 14 pints.
Greens 1 bushel spinach
yields 13 pint jars.
Dandelion greens 1 bushel
yields 15 pint jars.
String beans—l bushel yields 17
to 20 quarts.
Tomatoes—l bushel yields 1G to
20 quarts.
3 As soon as vegetable is pre
pared, get into the jar as soon as
possible, otherwise flat sour may
develop.
Parkins Vegetable.
4 Most vegetables are packed to
within one-half inch of the top of the
jar Exceptions to this rule are
corn, peas and lima beans.
5 Liquid in which vegetable was
precooked may be added to the jar
except in the case of strong liquids
such as spinach and greens.
Before Processing.
6 Wipe top of jar before placing
on hd. Use manufacturers' direc
ti :i in this case, as all lids differ
and your manufacturer knows what
kind of tightening is necessary
Sort Used Fats!
Processing.
7. Process vegetable, using time
tabic given above. In using the
pressure cooker,
allow steam to
escape for 7 to 10
minutes before
closing petcock.
Allow pressure
gauge to come up
I to desired tem
perature before
starting to count processing time.
When processing time is over, re
move cooker from range, then lei
pressure gauge come back to zero
before opening.
Storage Tips.
3. Remove jars from cooker and
lay on several thicknesses of cloth
or paper Do not tighten lid unless
so directed by the manufacturer ot
the jar. Some jars should not be
inverted. Here again, consult your
individual directions.
9. Store in a cool, dark place.
Make sure the jars are not in a
draft.
Use of Vegetables.
Before tasting or using any home
canned vegetables, boil them in an
open vessel for 10 minutes. This
will kill any of the toxins which
may have formed in the jars.
