preserves

Fruit preservation was encouraged during the period of food rationing so that even wild berries and fruits were not wasted. However, jams had to be made with little or no sugar as it was rationed.

Thanks for your photo ! We used it to explain how to do a jam pie : phonotheque.hypotheses.org/20206

Great! Glad we could be of assistance!

I wish food today came in glass cans!!

I don't have a garden to produce vegetables for canning, but I do can chicken stock or beef stock. Home canning is not as widespread as it used to be, but it's still common enough that my local large drugstore carries canning supplies.

Great collection!!

My mom and dad used to stay up very late at night canning food from our garden. This was after a full days work. They used an old pressure cooker to seal the jars. The results were delicious.

This looks like a normal stack of preserves from my Georgia Grand parents basement shelves in the 1950's (but they had more Peaches and watermelon)

The University of Queensland Gatton Campus was established in 1897 at Gatton as the Queensland Agricultural College. The College initially operated as a tertiary agricultural institution offering a basic practical and theoretical agricultural education for young men and short courses for farmers on specific topics, but from its inception, there was also an expectation that the College would be involved in agricultural research and experimentation.
