Questionnaire was used for data collection. Findings reveal significant difference between the mothers and daughters in the application of caning, freezing and preserving with salt (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between them in terms of the application of drying method and the preparation of some traditional foods (tarhann, which is a dried food made of curd, yoghurt, tomato and flour) molasses, homemade fettuccini and bulgur (cracked wheat) (P>0.05). The women preserve apricot (58.4%), sour cherry (52.1%), strawberry as jam (66.3%) grape (29.3%), fig (%50.2) and plum (50.0%) by drying.
