Summary
My mother-in-law’s name was Fern. She set an example in her mastery of all the survival techniques that are necessary for living in the Adirondacks...She was particularly good at scrounging in the woods. She knew where all the berries were—strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, and even wild grapes. During apple season, she hiked around sampling all the wild apple trees to find the best ones.... At the same time, she kept a huge garden....The crowning glory of the tomato crop was her chili sauce, and she was pretty famous for it.
