My grandma made molasses by herself, applebutter and peach butter and applesauce and i pounded that churn stick up and down many atime on the front porch. I hated that cause the churn crock was big as i was but loved to eat that white butter and drink that cold buttermilk from the spring house and steal her favorite little "tommytoe" tomatos and eat them dirt and all<grin> how about home made sauerkkraut? Sure beat the taste of the store version. Pickles and relish and that yellow relish with the corn in it that was hot and eaten with beans.Her pickled green beans were yummy too.
