This episode examines the development of home canning and how Indiana residents have utilized various aesthetic and technological methods both in the past and today. From the innovative “Pie In A Jar” technique to family recipes for sweet pickles, from the history of the Ball Jar in Indiana to drying beans, Hoosiers contribute to a rich landscape of food preservation.
For this episode we traveled to Muncie, home of the Ball Corporation Archives; to Sechler’s Pickles in St. Joe; Lisa’s Pie Shop in Atlanta; as well as visiting with Harold and Jo Ann Jackson in Salem, who preserve foods from their home.
