We helped decorate jar lids with ribbons and bows so Grandma could give away this relish as gifts.

The grapevines in the woods behind our house were strong enough for me to climb, so I picked the grapes each year.

Grandma always added a layer of Pickled Onions on our hero sandwiches.

No one missed maple syrup on their waffles when Spiced Peach Sauce appeared on the breakfast table.

Grandma gave a jar of this sauce as a hostess gift at summer barbecues.

If Grandma was serving pinto beans, there’d be a dish of this vegetable relish as well.

Once, when my sister and I were picking berries, Grandpa sneaked up on us and roared. We spilled all our berries!

During Grandma’s nap time, I’d tiptoe to the kitchen to eat fudge sauce right from the jar.

As she walked through her rows of garden green beans, Grandma would say, ‘This year’s Dilly Beans will be the best ever.’

I’ll always remember the hot September afternoon I spent at Grandma’s, cooking chutney with her.
