This taste of home recipe brought back many sweet memories for me. My mother had a large garden including fruit trees, berry bushes, rhubarb and yes a massive garden. She canned and put up for winter we harvested and enjoyed in season We always had enough to share with friend or family as well. Mom always believed in sharing what the good lord gave us.
