Not only does that look delicious, but the history is fascinating. I love the history of preparing foods.
In the car on the way to school we are listening to the Little House on the Prairie and I perk up at all of the food stuff. The plums by the creek all came ripe so Mary and Laura collected them all in pails
And Ma laid them out on cloths on the prairie in the sun to dry them for winter. I used to collect antique cookbooks. I made a conscious decision not to any more but still interested in learning.
The plum tale is interesting.
Sans refrigeration, they had to scramble to preserve food for the fall/winter larder.
My grandmother used to “put up” summer’s bounty....tomatoes, peaches, and the like.
That musta been hard work.....boiling all those jars, filling them up, and sterilizing everything.
