# Home Canning: Fruits, In and Out of Boiling Water Bath

Instruction chart numbered 12 in a home-canning series, headed 'Home Canning Fruits In and Out of Boiling Water Bath': a woman lowers a jar into a tub of water with a label 'Water level 1 to 2 inches above jars', then photographs of hands wiping and cooling filled jars. The technique is faint: an unnamed home cook in an apron shows the task as everyday work (plain-folks).
