Preserving fruits and vegetables

GRIT reader Goldie Aaron, of Marietta, Ohio, is looking for a recipe for the Last of The Garden, which includes lima beans, corn, and green beans. The recipes we received didn’t match Goldie’s description exactly for the recipe she is looking for, however, they sound fairly close. It seems to be a recipe that can be changed at will, depending on the produce in your garden.

Leona Hanson, of Middlefield, Ohio, sent a homemade pickle recipe she copied from her older Kerr and Ball canning books.
