Cup Jars of Dill RelishTerry packaged these in cup jars and then sealed them in the boiling water manner. THAT took its toll. Boiling water for 10 minutes in (at that time) 94 degree heat (outside temp, 86 degrees inside)! No wonder early settlers opted for a separate summer kitchen. As the photo shows, she sealed seven jars and the leftovers are in an eighth jar in the fridge for immediate use.

That sounds WAY too hot. FWIW, my grandmother's "summer kitchen" was a wood stove in the back yard. First use each year required letting the fire & smoke drive out the inevitable hornets'/mud-daubers' nest in the 6' chimney pipe that served as a smokestack.
It was fun to watch - from inside the house.
