Thinly slice or chop stalks. Add water. Cover and
simmer 2 minutes or until soft. Add to the prepared

jars, leaving 1/4- inch space at top. With a damp
cloth, wipe jar rims and threads clean.

Screw bands on firmly.

setting jars on rack in canner of boiling water.
Cover canner and return water to a boil; boil 5
minutes.
