The Beginner’s Guide to Preserving Food at Home

Freeze, dry, can, root cellar, and brine your favorite produce right at home. Janet Chadwick’s introduction to the world of preserving provides step-by-step instructions and inspiring easy-to-follow recipes. Pick up a crate of inexpensive, less-than-perfect tomatoes at the farmers market and turn them into jars of spicy salsa, or buy a few extra peaches and can a delicious batch of jam to serve with Sunday breakfast. You’ll extend the summer harvest and find yourself serving up delicious, locally grown food all year long.
