"By the late fall, rural families transformed the bounty from kitchen gardens and orchards into an extensive larder stashed in pantries, storerooms, and root cellars. The practical goal was to store fruits and vegetables in ways that limited the growth of bacteria and fungi; depending upon the crop and local tradition, storage and preservation methods included burying, hanging, freezing, drying, pickling, candying and jellying." (HISTORY MAGAZINE) The author "describes how fruits and vegetables were preserved in North American homes before refrigeration."
