What To Do With Your Vegetable Garden Bumper Crops

Your patriotic duty did not end with planting and
tending the family's Victory (or Defense) Garden
and creating new ways to cook and eat mostly
vegetables, without much in the way of seasonings.

Patriots were expected to preserve part of their crops
to get through the long winters of food rationing,
and to supplement the small amounts of meat
they were allowed. And the small amounts of rationed
meat that was available, should also be preserved

The pamphlets offered are vintage canning and preservation guides utilized during both
world wars and times of crisis, helping housewives deal with food rationing, and other hardships.

supply when times were tough. And some recipes that can't easily be found today, if you're planning
a veggie/Victory Garden, or are a beginner in the practices of sustainability and homesteading.
