    I'm just glad they took an even-handed approach to such a controversial issue like long boil versus short boil.

    This was very enjoyable to watch. I actually got some great tips. Never knew that you could make jam or jelly from frozen fruit. I have to give this a try. Keep the videos like this coming.

    My sister has a GE refrigerator just like the one shown here. It’s from about 1950 and still runs! The only thing that needed replacing was the rubber door gasket. I think she has the motor cleaned now and then.

      Like what Damsons are, they're a tiny variety of plums.
      It's an indirect reference from Monty Python. 😉

    I live in Sydney Au. & have never come across fresh crabapples to buy. How unfortunate, because I love fruits & would be so delighted to have fresh crabapples to eat! I have never heard of Damson plums either. I used to buy fresh gooseberries years ago, but I haven't seen them in a long time now. I have a real passion for orchards, fruits & vegetables! 😅 Our variety of fruits & vegetables have changed a lot throughout the years. I'd prefer to have more European varieties rather than all the Asian & tropical ones we have on the market these days. I wonder if in 1950's Sydney, crabapples etc. & more European varieties of fruits & vegetables were available on the market then? For any Americans & Europeans reading this, I would love to know if crabapples, Damson plums etc.& all the old varieties of fruits & vegetables are still available for you to purchase. Thanks a lot from sunny Sydney! 🌞 ps: While on my travels in Europe, I have been able to eat fresh crabapples, many varieties of berries & many other (old worldly), fruits & vegetables. One of my fav fruit, is the Medlar fruit!

    I love that the educational films of this era all refer to science as the basis of all learning. This is such a reflection of the times...the space race, etc. We wanted a nation of scientists, whether they were in government, industry, or the home. Fascinating!

    Originally released in 1946 (of course, there were no "color TV" sets marketed at the time- but for the purposes of this film, there *were).*

    She's using a liquid measuring cup--which is only used for liquids--when she should be using a different measuring cup for dry ingredients learned that in my high school Home Economics class in the 70's. 😁😉And, we were taught to turn the pot handles on a burner toward the back end of the stove, to avoid accidentally hitting the handle.

    They already cooked electric? Not sure what english word for it is. What i found on wiki is that it was not introduced until the 70s even though patented already in the beginning of the century. This something else then, a fire maybe under there, or what is going on?

    This was made entertaining as well as instructive, and they didn't go over-the-top to do it like they would nowadays. What an idyllic life we Americans could sometimes have back in the 50s. I was but a child then, and from a comparatively disadvantaged background.
