I came across this in the "Jams and Preserves" section of "What's Cookin'?", a recipe book compiled by St. Peter's Lutheran Church. (We purchased it at a book sale at our local library.) - Teri
How To Preserve a Husband - Author Unknown
Be careful in your selection. Do not choose too young.
Take only such varieties as have been reared in a good moral atmosphere.
When once decided upon and selected, let that part remain forever settled and give your entire thought to the preparation for domestic use.
Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others are constantly getting them into hot water.
Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles and flavored with kisses.
Then wrap well in a mantle of love. Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with the fruits of constant devotion and the milk of human kindness. When thus prepared, they will keep for years.
