What a wonderful time it was when pantries were filled to the brim. Jars of compote were stacked next to pickled vegetables, dried herbs filled the air with their fragrance, and sour gherkins were always at hand. How great it is that preserving food is back in trend. Homemade supplies taste better, and you can be sure of what's inside, as additives and flavor enhancers are naturally left out.
