My Favorite Guide for Pickling and Preserving
Years ago, I did a Put ’em Up review, but I am still using and still loving this particular guide. In fact, I use it more now than I did when I first got the book – so I thought a nice new tribute was in order.
Put simply, Put ’em Up! (Amazon link) gives you a quick, painless, and even easy to catch on education in pickling, canning, freezing, drying, and preserving. Whether you’re into canning or prefer “refrigerator” methods, this guide will give you all the skills you need.
Book Description:
With simple step-by-step instructions and 175 delicious recipes, Put ‘em Up will have even the most timid beginners filling their pantries and freezers in no time! You’ll find complete how-to information for every kind of preserving: refrigerating, freezing, air- and oven-drying, cold- and hot-pack canning, and pickling. Recipes range from the contemporary and daring — Wasabi Beans, Cherry and Black Pepper Preserves, Pickled Fennel, Figs in Honey Syrup, Sweet Pepper Marmalade, Berry Bourbon, Salsa Verde — to the very best versions of tried-and-true favorites, including applesauce and apple butter, dried tomatoes, marinara sauce, bread and butter pickles, classic strawberry jam, and much, much more.
