cover the grains. To each pint add
1-2 'level teaspoon salt and 1 tea
spoon sugar, if sweet corn is used.
If field corn is used, double the
amount of sugar.
Place rubber on jar and screw
lid on loosely. Place the jar in a
hot water canner and process for
one hour and 20 minutes on each
of three successive days. Screw
lid on tight after first processing
and do not loosen on second and
third days.
Any vessel with a close fitting
lid may be used for a hot-water
canner.

pressure cooker whenever possible.
