# Home Canning: Fruits, Packing and Sealing

Instruction chart numbered 11 in a home-canning series, headed 'Home Canning Fruits Packing and Sealing': five photographs of hands filling a clamp-top jar with fruit, covering it with juice, removing air bubbles, wiping the rim and snapping the clamp. The technique is faint: plain kitchen tools and a home cook show the job as ordinary and doable (plain-folks).
