Preserving In Today’s Kitchen by Jeanne Lesem

A former food editor takes a new look at the age-old tradition of putting up fruits and vegetables against the coming winter. Lesem shows how to make various sauces, jellies, pickles, and more to spice up everyday meals. She creates innovative flavors using the food processor, the microwave, and the freezer. Also, she sprinkles her book with quotations from old almanacs, diaries, newspapers, and cookbooks to bring a lovely bit of nostalgia to the modern American table
