PRESERVING IS BACK, AND IT S BETTER THAN EVER. Flavours are brighter, batch sizes are more flexible, and modern methods make the process safer and easier. Eating locally is on everybody s 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.

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.
