BOTTLED PEAS
FOR WINTER USE. Peas can also be bottled for winter use quite successfully. To one quart of boiling water add one teaspoon of sugar, two teaspoons of salt, two teaspoons of borax and a bunch of mint, and allow to become cold. Remove the mint after a few minutes. Pod the peas, which must not be old and dry, grade them in sizes as much as possible, place the various sizes in muslin bags and boil them for five minutes in water to which one tablespoon of salt and a quarter of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda has been added to each quart. Then rinse the peas well under the tap and arrange them in their graded sizes in the bottles. Fill up with the water, in which the sugar, salt and borax have been dissolved, put on the rings, lightly screw cn the tops, place in the pan, bring to the boil in a quarter of an hour and boil steadily for one and three-quarter hours. Screw down lightly.
