[Sca-cooks] Preserved Foods

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

OK, as if i'm not doing enough already, i am now the Deputy Silver 
Spoon. The Silver Spoon is the cooking competition in the 
Principality of the Mists (in the Kingdom of the West) held at our 
four main events each year.

The Minister and i have come up with the competitions for the coming year.

One - in the fall - will be for Preserved Foods.

I'm thinking of mustards, compost, pickles, jams, and such.

I am not looking for specific recipes or sources, although those are 
nice, but i would like to know what other sorts of preserved foods 
are period. I'm sure the above only scratches the surface...

Thanks,
Anahita
