Peaches Preserved As Leather For Winter Use

The article describes drying peach leather as a cheap method to store fruit. It explains crushing ripe peaches, removing skins and pits, spreading the pulp on greased boards, drying in an oven, then peeling and packing the dried sheets. Useful for pies, cakes, or snacking, it urges readers with modest means to try the technique. It also includes miscellaneous notes and a joke about a doctor and a navy.
