Do not t>e^in the process of canning frui' until you have your fruit and cooking utensils all in readiness and then complete the process as rapidly as possible. Granite or porcelain pans are best for this purpose and they should be shallow in order that the fruit may be only one layer deep This allows it to cook quickly, which is the secret of its being light-colored and fineflavored, and it also makes it possible to handle it so as to avoid breaking it.
