Summary |
in The Farm Girl’s Guide to Preserving the Harvest, author Ann Accetta-Scott covers all the basics on canning, dehydrating, freezing, fermenting, curing, and smoking, including how to select and use the right tools for each method. This guide takes home preservers through the beginning, moderate, and advanced stages of preserving. Newcomers can start with a simple jam and jelly recipe using a hot water bath canner, while others may be advanced enough to have mastered the pressure canner and are ready to move onto curing and smoking meat and fish. With more than 30 delicious and healthy recipes and Ann's expertise and encouragement, the home preserver will build confidence in the most common methods of preserving. |
