| Take a look at this book (at right). It's by Rodale Press (remember
Organic gardening magazine and Prevention Magazine?). "Preserving
Summer's Bounty takes a giant step ahead in preserving advice. This
up-to-the-minute guide pays tribute to your grandmother's techniques for
'putting up' vegetables, but what I like best are the quick and easy modern
methods using the microwave, the freezer and more. These fast answers should
lure even the busiest among us into storing the precious harvest of the
garden."--Marian Morash, Author of The Victory Garden Cookbook "Preserving Summer's Bounty is a treasure trove of sage advice and enticing recipes. It's a delightful book that will let you enjoy your garden's harvest all year long."--Carol Hupping, Editor of Stocking Up III |
