Get a taste of berry-picking history with this century-old jelly table

The taste of homemade jelly or jam is what drives countless berry pickers into the woods every year. The recipe for jelly or jam hasn't changed much in the past hundred years, but the gear to make it sure has.

Have you ever seen (or even heard of) a jelly table? A handmade example from a century ago is part of the History collection at The Rooms, and ithas a nifty feature that many berry pickers today would appreciate.
