Home Canning: Vegetables Out of the Pressure Canner
How-to sheet with three photographs of hands lifting the pressure canner lid, removing jars of green beans and wiping them, plus three bullet instructions. A large orange V sits behind the title. The technique is faint: the V borrows the wartime victory symbol for a kitchen instruction (transfer).
