spinach

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)

For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain the location is the SW corner of Pittwater Rd and Pine St, at Manly...on the top left of frame, the building at 138 Pittwater Rd just makes it into the picture...then the next 2 houses to the right are also good match. Pic 11 in the SLNSW Pix series shows more of Pittwater Rd, including the arched entrance at 138 Pittwater Rd...pic 15 shows the very distinctive house at 122 Pittwater Rd (now minus orbs)...pic 3 shows the house at 127 Pittwater Rd, next to the fruit shop... collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/9arWMwAn/oVR3z8MaGmDR3 - link to the SLNSW Pix scooter pics... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/230253158 - the Sun, 26th June, 1935...'Tram Death'...this report on a coroner's inquest refers to evidence given by John Truman, fruiterer, of Pittwater Rd, Manly...
