Merle Ellis relays a cautionary column about making ham, bacon, and other cured meats without nitrates or nitrites.

Peach Ripening and History Highlight a Fruit Tale

Ripened peaches should be refrigerated as they continue to mature under gentle pressure. Unripe fruits ripen at room temperature. The peach has ancient roots in Chinese writings, prospered in Persian gardens as the Persian apple, and spread to Europe and the New World via Spanish explorers. The first U.S. commercial peach venture began in the early 1800s, with California now producing over half of the global supply. On this date in 1804, educator Elizabeth Peabody was born.
