In Mrs. Wheelbarrow s Practical Pantry, food preserving expert
Cathy Barrow presents a beautiful collection of essential
preserving techniques for turning the fleeting abundance of the
farmers market into a well-stocked pantry full of canned fruits and
vegetables, jams, stocks, soups, and more.
As Cathy writes in her introduction, A walk through the weekend
farmers market is a chance not only to shop for the week ahead but
also to plan for the winter months. From the strawberries and
blueberries of late spring to the peaches, tomatoes, and butter
beans of early fall, Mrs. Wheelbarrow s Practical Pantry shows you
how to create a fresh, delectable, and lasting pantry a grocery
store in your own home.
Beyond the core techniques of water-bath canning, advanced
techniques for pressure canning, salt-curing meats and fish,
smoking, and even air-curing pancetta are broken down into
easy-to-digest, confidence-building instructions.
Under Cathy s affable direction, you ll discover that homemade
cream cheese and Camembert are within the grasp of the weekday cook
and the same goes for smoked salmon, home canned black beans, and
preserved and cured duck confit.
In addition to canning techniques, Practical Pantry includes 36
bonus recipes using what s been preserved: rugelach filled with
apricot preserves, tomato soup from canned crushed tomatoes,
arugula and bresaola salad with Parmigiano-Reggiano and hazelnuts,
brined pork chops with garlicky bok choy.
Tips for choosing the best produce at the right time of season
and finding the right equipment for your canning and cooking needs
along with troubleshooting tips to ensure safe preserving will keep
your kitchen vibrant from spring to fall.
Whether your food comes by the crate, the bushel, or the canvas
bag, just a few of Cathy s recipes are enough to furnish your own
practical pantry, one that will provide nourishment and delight all
year round. Canning and preserving is not just about the
convenience of a pantry filled with peaches, dill pickles, and
currant jelly, nor is it the simple joy of making a meal from the
jars on the shelf creating a practical pantry is about cultivating
a thoughtful connection with your local community, about knowing
exactly where your food comes from and what it can become."
