| FEATURE Putting Up the Fall Harvest | Fall means the end of the summer harvest, a time when people have traditionally put up the last crops of the season to ensure sustenance during the colder, less fruitful days of winter. But harvest time has lost much of its meaning in the modern age of industrial food production. Today, canned and processed foods are abundant, and peaches and tomatoes (however hard, watery, and tasteless) are available in the supermarket produce section year round. In the spirit of the harvest, we thought we'd share a few simple ideas for saving some late summer and fall favorites for a cold, rainy day. |
