stouffville ontario thursday june 2 1938 home canning in tin cans the tin can as a container for home canned fruits vegetables meats and fish is becoming in creasingly popular every year and the reason for this is that canning in tin cans is quicker easier and cheaper than canning in glass states r v arengo- jones horticultural division central experimental farm ottawa after witnessing the conglom eration of cans which went out of stouffville last friday on the annual can day we agree with mr jones about the cans popularity successful canning in tin cans requires a reliable can closing machine and a pressure steriliz er for vegetables meats and fish both these pieces of equipment can be purchased quite cheaply and they will last for many years if properly cared for the pressure sterilizer may be used for cooking every day meals as well as for canning and for this reason will be found very useful both the can sealer and the sterilizer are sold in a wide range of sizes to suit every need in country sections where a lot of canning may be done it is a good plan for several families to purchase the equip ment cooperatively selecting the larger models and then by helping each other during the canning season a remark ably large quantity of foodstuffs may be preserved for winter use the only difference between canning in tin cans and canning in glass is that the tin cans must be sealed while the contents are hot this is necessary in order to exclude air from the can as it is only in the presence of air that the acids in fruits and vegetables can attack the metal of the can furthermore since the filled cans are cooked follow ing sealing hot filling will re duce the internal pressure de veloped by the sterilizing treat ment plain tin cans are used for most vegetables and for all but the colored fruits red colored fruits fade in plain cans so cans finished on the inside with a protective enamel are used certain kinds of vegetables such as lima beans and corn will darken in plain cans and a special can finish known as c enamel is provided for them using present day equipment and reliable canning instructions home canners may have as much confidence in their own products as they have in commercially canned fruits and vegetables day last year a monument wa is needed is that they be given erected in woodstock to spring- sufficient ventilation and
