साखरांबा...The Glass Held the Light: Sakharamba and Smucker's Jelly

Today October 10 2017 is 80th birth anniversary of my mother, for me, the 'inventor' of Sakharamba (साखरांबा)...In pre-refrigerator days, she had hard time fighting off ants and mold invading her children's favorite dish...

I saw the following picture in The Paris Review dated January 20 2016:

Smucker's Jelly, 1973, oil on canvas, 36" x 64" 

Artist: Janet Fish 

“The reason for painting glass was to totally focus on light, and the glass held the light,” Fish said in 1968. She said of her approach to still life, “It’s really as much painting life as anything else … because it’s not dead. Things aren’t dead. The light is through everything and energy through everything.”
