. We used to make apple sauce from home grown fruits ....... cook the Pork and always remember as we sat down to the meal.
My maternal Gran had an open fire with stove and an 'arm' that swung over the fire. Either the kettle was on it bubbling gently or there was a pan of odds and sods which would have everything thrown at it during the week. By Friday it was the evening meal. Rabbit or pigeon with ends of veg., onions, salt, pepper; herbs in the Summer but we didn't have garlic or ginger. She never used rice for stews as DH does.
Strained it makes a good healthy meal with home made bread ;-). Stock cubes are good too but may be more salty. Great for camping trips

Gran did make proper rice puddings in the oven with a thick skin ......... I digress
