wash them, put them into boiling salt water until they are partly
done, pour them into a colander and drain off the water. Place them in
Economy jars, the first layer must have the points up and the second
layer the points down. Make the jars ¾ full and pour on the cooled
salt water in the proportions given above, close the jars tightly and
boil them for 1½ hours in a boiler, as stated before.

2 tbsps. of caraway seeds
1 pt. of vinegar
3 tbsps. of horseradish pieces
¼ cup of sugar
2 tsps. of salt

Preparation: Clean the beets, boil until tender in boiling water, skin
them and slice them about 1⁄10 inch thick into a stone jar. Strew
caraway seeds on every layer and place the pieces or slices of horse
radish between each layer. Boil the vinegar with salt and sugar and
when cold, pour it over the beets to well cover them, tie up the jar
or close the can well.

Green peas
To every qt. of cold water, 1 tsp. of salt

them and test the jar covers. If these are not tight, put on other
covers and boil the jars for ½ hour longer. The peas must not be
yellow but tender and sound. If there are bad ones among them, they
must be carefully selected or the preserves will not keep.

take out the jars, test them as to the rubbers and covers, close them
up tightly and treat them as in No. 1. Covers that are not tight must
be replaced by others and the jars put back into the boiler to cook
another 15 minutes. Remarks: Everything must be very clean.
