Before things got ugly in the kitchen, Ennis had enjoyed a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner with his daughters.

On the windowsill in Alma's kitchen, there are several jarfuls of mashed baby food.

Thanks for your educated guess.

Alma has a number of jars with resealable lids in her kitchen. Some are on the windowsill and probably contain baby food. To her right, as she scrubs her laundry in the tub, are some other preserving jars on the countertop. The presence of these jars on the countertop indicate the lack of a refrigerator in the house. So keeping the jars of baby food on the windowsill would have kept them cool and safe until they were used within a day or two. The Mason jars on the countertop would have been stored in a cellar or cool pantry until needed, and because they were "preserved" they could be kept for months or years.

Two things about this kitchen stand out to me as being out of place.
That electric range is very slim, modern and not even second hand.
That plastic laundry basket was never available in the sixties.
It would have been wicker.

The jars on Alma's windowsill contain mashed baby food. This is before her heart gets mashed.

Tired of living in the middle of nowhere and even more tired of using a washboard to wash countless baby diapers, Alma del Mar, nee Beers, found an affordable apartment in Riverton which just happened to be located above a laundromat.

In their quest for a safe haven, Ennis and Jack had to make do with outdoor facilities.

While on the mountain, the boys cooked from pots and pans that were speckled enamel.

Alma has a cookbook filled with recipes open on the counter.

Hopefully, Alma is following a simple recipe because, from the looks of her spice rack, she has a limited number of spices available.
