Growing up I never had store bought jam or preserves, pickles and vegetables mom put up all we needed for the year.
My grandparents would raise 100 plus chicken's and then all my aunt's uncle's and cousin's would get together and process the chicken and they would last a good part of the year.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-14-19 AT 07:03AM (MST)[p]We always lived here on the coast near the oyster beds so we always made our own slaked lime. Grandpa had a kiln just for that purpose. Who had the 8 cents to buy it back then? In the Spring time sis and I gathered shorebird and wild duck eggs to preserve.

Edit: Sis and I started the tradition of the original Easter egg hunt.
