Here's the blurb for the book from the Amazon website:
"There
are a lot of books about food preserving but what sets this book (and
the first two of this series, “Preserving Meat, Dairy, and Eggs”
and “Preserving Fruits, Nuts, and Seeds” is that each food and
all of the methods for preserving that particular food are described
in their own chapters.
In
Part I of this book it begins with vegetables and works it's way
through each vegetable in alphabetical order. Then on to Grains and
then Beans (legumes). All methods of preserving that work well with
each food are explained along with directions for the preparation and
processing of that food. There is also information about what
doesn't work and why.
In
Part II it explains the preservation methods and how to do them, and
what you'll need for: Canning, Dehydrating, Freezing, Salting,
Brining, Sugaring, Smoking, Pickling, and Fermenting, as well as some
not-as-often heard-of methods: Ash, Oil, and Honey for food
preservation.
Everything
is something that the authors have personally done or tried, or in a
few cases, spoke to someone who had. Both authors have been
preserving food for about half a century, first as kids helping their
parents, and then as adults (and parents) preserving food for their
families.
The
authors live on opposite ends of the country (North and South) and
bring some of their own regional flavor to the book, making it
interesting as well as informative."
If you already own the first two this will round out your collection. We hope it's a useful and helpful book.
