Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-21 00:00:00 William Ohara Overview: Gardening seems to be making a big comeback. Let's just blame Youtube for that one. But, how do you make the most out of what you grow? Let's face it, there's only so many ways you can use fresh produce. So how about preserving it for later? Dislikes: There are a couple of things that bother me about this book. We shifted to preservation with white sugar, because honey doesn't have a consistency needed to preserve many jams or fruit preserves. And unless something has gone seriously wrong with your recipe--including not processing it long enough--then you shouldn't be having enough jars failing to worry about reprocessing the jars. Likes: There are several good recipes and tips. For the most part, the authors seem to prefer freezing to all other forms of preservation. Conclusion: This is an interesting reference book. But, always have a second witness to all the recipes first.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-19 00:00:00 Heather Wright OK, so I didn't read this -- its a resource book and not the kind of thing you read all the way through. I just got it from the library today & I am impressed! Its a great resource for folks who want to learn to do their own home prepping & storage of food. I'm not nearly there yet (except for a little experimentation this summer, I hope), but this book seems to provide directions for anything under the sun that you want to learn how to freeze, can, pickle, etc. Gotta get a copy to keep!
