Fill the can full of peas, shake the can so they can be filled well.

You cannot press the peas in the can as you did the corn, but by

shaking the cans they may be filled quite full. Pour into the cans

enough cold water to fill to overflowing, then screw the cover tight

as you can with your thumb and first finger and proceed exactly as in

canning corn.

String beans are cut as for cooking and canned in the same manner. No

seasoning of salt, pepper or sugar should be added.
