gallon jars. In the winter we enjoyed many different cobblers.
We did not have ice cream available as we do today. We used heavy cream that had been skimmed from the top of milk that came from the cow.
Sometimes the cream was sweetened and nutmeg was added depending on what cobbler you were serving. This is another memorable treat.
Berries were more plentiful then, and we would pick them by the bucket full. There were high berries such as blackberries and raspberries. Low berries were dew berries which were much larger and sweeter. I’m not sure there are any growing any more.
Jams and jelly were made from all kinds of berries, peaches, plums, damsons and strawberries. These were put into pint jars or smaller, and were eaten at each meal. This was also our snack with bread and butter after school or between meals. Junk food was not available, so we created our own.
We could go to the cellar and come back with enough different fruits and vegetables for our mid-day and evening meal.
Beside the canning, there was 100 pounds of flour, com meal and dried beans stored for the winter. This was bought late fall or early winter.
