It holds up a lot better than a lot of other comedies from that time period, yeah. Was kinda shocked at how funny it was when I watched it again a year or two ago.
Never tried to make tomato jelly though. That DOES sound stupid. But she did can a lot of tomatoes. Like a salsa.
;P

Two years back I got to help my grandmother make like 12 jars of grape jelly from our grape vines out back. We also made fig preserves (closer to a jam with the fruit pulp) but with a strawberry jello flavor. So if you didn't know, you would assume it was simply strawberry jam. AND we had enough blueberries for maybe 6 jars of jam. Was a fun experience. I've never read Little House on the Prairie.
I hated jam (or jelly, as I always called it, although I'm sure an expert will educate me on the distinction, which I can't remember right now) as a kid and basically never had it on toast, but I'm like 90% sure I'd love it today.
I should just go have some this week, and maybe try a few other things I hated as a kid.

Let's face it...Little House on the Prairie is akin to a gateway drug. A kid picks up a book like this, next thing you know she's braiding her hair and making jam. It has to be stopped.

I read as saying: No settlers lived there only native Americans. Meaning it was rugged land, away from American society.
