Publisher's Synopsis
Cooks in the kitchen may be unsure about how to use up an abundance of fruits and vegetables from a plentiful garden or large purchase at the farmers market. When searching through your cupboard or freezer for a last-minute meal, you can benefit from a bumper crop of fruit or even a large pot of chili by learning how to securely store goods at home. Whether you are growing your own food or purchasing it in bulk, home food preservation will help you stock up and save money. Meals become more varied, and the quality of home-preserved foods can rival that of the majority of products sold in stores. What is in your food is in your hands.
