the mashrooms and berries

Every summer we used to pick, bring home all these mushrooms, berries, vegetables from our gardens and clean it individually to make sure no grass or dirt, or insect left. Then had to boil it, cook for hours, watching non stop, put in extremely cleaned steamed glass bottles, seal it, put in a dark place under blankets. Sometimes the bottles would blow, because the temperature is wrong, or wasn't seal properly and you have to clean the mess. Go and buy berries or mushrooms and redo it. Everything has to go only by the book, time measured by minute, everything is going under strict supervision. Its a tradition.
