Preserving

Preserving seems like a trend to some, but housewives traditionally put up food as part of their routines. In fact, if you look at vintage cookbooks you will see many of them have sections for food preservation as it was an assumed skill. Preserving your bounty is work up front, but in the end it saves time, money, and ensures you always have food on hand come what may. And hey, it’s thrifty fun!
