Ack!!!
So then, what is the accepted general belief on the use of preserves in reenacting period cooking?
I have been happily placing my father's prizewinning apricot, berry and plum preserves on my breakfast buffets and have never heard any objection...
... I have always felt that his were "more period" than storebought; if only for the fact that he often grows the produce himself and uses less sugar than commercial jams...
so... should I cease serving preserves, break my heart though it would?
