Untitled photo, possibly related to: Fruit jars being sterilized on old lady Graham's back fence in berry season. Near Conway, Arkansas. "We just gather and can peas, beans, berries, and sausage when we butcher the hogs in the winter. We put up seventy-five quarts of berries, sixty of beans, sixty of kraut, thirty of grapes and twenty of peaches. I swapped two bushels of grapes and got two bushels of peaches and I swapped one bushel of grapes for one bushel of apples"

These are the #sour #plums being #dried on our deck, under the sun. Solar dehydrating ✌
Day 1 of making #homemade #preserved #Chinese #SaltedDriedPlum #snacks 🌞 The large tray is brought in at night & put back out an hour after sunrise. Only coarse #salt & #CaneSugar are used; same simple method that our village family overseas has been using for generations.
