Title translation seems weird this time, but I tried Google and DeepL. Google says “and the preserving”, DeepL says “and the canning”.
As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

Back in those times, fruits used to be quite seasonal, only available during certain times of year. It was very common for many families to preserve fruits in glass jars at home, either as jams, or whole - my family used to do it (as well as make sauerkraut out of cabbage, in a large ceramic crock)
The joke is that Jucika is carrying all the jars to do her preserves, and realizes she has no room to buy the actual fruit, the most important part of the whole thing! But being resourceful as she is, and inspired by the old lady, she comes up with a clever solution, using her hat.
