PRESERVING IS BACK, AND IT S BETTER THAN EVER. Flavors are
brighter, batch sizes are more flexible, and modern methods make
the process safer and easier. Eating locally is on everybodys mind,
and nothing is more local than Heirloom Salsa made from vine-fresh
tomatoes or a quick batch of Ice-Box Berry Jam saved from the
seasons last berries. Even beginners who never made peach jam or
dill pickles in their grandmothers kitchens are eager to pick up
preserving skills as a way to save money, extend the local harvest,
and control the quality of preserved ingredients.
The step-by-step instructions in "Put em Up "will have the most
timid beginners filling their pantries and freezers with the
preserved goodness of summer in no time. An extensive Techniques
section includes complete how-to for every kind of preserving:
refrigerating and freezing, air- and oven-drying, cold- and
hot-pack canning, and pickling. And with recipe yields as small as
a few pints or as large as several gallons, readers can easily
choose recipes that work for the amount of produce and time at
hand.
Real food advocate Sherri Brooks Vinton offers recipes with
exciting flavor combinations to please contemporary palates and put
preserved fruits and vegetables on dinner-party menus everywhere.
Pickled Asparagus and Wasabi Beans are delicious additions to
holiday relish trays; Sweet Pepper Marmalade perks up cool-weather
roasts; and Berry Bourbon is an unexpected base for a warming
cocktail.
The best versions of tried-and-true favorites are all here too.
