Can ALL you can
Come on, let’s can the fruits and berries that are now
in season here in bountiful California. For economy,
buy them by the lug or crate. To preserve and can them
for winter use is easy when you follow simple step-bystep canning directions.
Then when cold winter comes, your family will positively purr at the cupboard full of canned goods. you
put up during summer. How mighty welcome and
grand eating will be the jars of apple sauce, grape jelly,
golden peach halves, cool pears, rich juicy p!ums and
those firm tomatoes or spicy-good tomato relishes!
Put’em up aow. Save ye=r ration points. Let'the boys
overseas have their share. Can ALL you can at homes:
