Home Canning: Fruits, Preparation
Instruction chart numbered 10 in a home-canning series, headed 'Home Canning Fruits Preparation': three photographs of hands adding sugar to peaches in an enamel pot, tipping fruit into a pot and pouring hot water from a kettle, with short captions. The technique is faint: ordinary kitchen vessels and a home cook make the task look within anyone's reach (plain-folks).
