Connect with your food like never before by diving into the art of preserving in a free online conversation with author and cook Holly Capelle. In her new book, Preserving the Seasons, Capelle offers a comprehensive guide to canning, jamming, infusing, drying, dehydrating, pickling, and more!
Preserving the Seasons provides clear and safe best practices for preserving herbs, fruit, vegetables, and edible flowers. It is one-stop shopping for the simplest and safest methods: jamming, infusing, drying, dehydrating, freezing, freeze-drying, and quick-pickling.
Highlights include:
- 100+ recipes such as dry rubs, marinades, pie fillings, that use what you’ve preserved.
- Expert tips and lists of equipment needed for each preserving method.
- Hundreds of full color photographs that guide and inspire.
- A comprehensive list of herbs for botanical teas and an exhaustive guide to edible flowers with preserving and usage notes. (Think: Compound butter! Cake decorations!)
- Original recipes for jams and jellies, such as Wild Violet jelly and Spiced Raspberry Jam.
- Ideas for infusing salt, sugar, honey, oil, and vinegar to elevate cooking.
- A user-friendly index that quickly helps you find ways to preserve and enjoy your bounty.
