The Big Book of Preserving the Harvest

Remember how grandmother's pantry shelves were packed with jars of tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes, pickled beets and cauliflower, and pickles both sweet and dill? Learn how to save a summer day - in batches - from the classic primer, now updated and re-jacketed. Use the latest inexpensive, time saving techniques for drying, freezing, canning and pickling. Anyone can capture the delicate flavours of fresh foods for year-round enjoyment and create a well-stocked pantry of fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats flavoured vinegars and seasonings.
