Everything worth preserving : the complete guide for food preservation at home / Melissa K. Norris.

Norris, Melissa K., 1981- (author.).

Summary:

"Discover the many ways to preserve your harvest while gaining a clear understanding of the process and safety of each method. Not every food can be preserved in the same way, which is why a canning-only book or a fermenting-only book leave many foods out. Everything Worth Preserving includes easy-to-use charts showing the best preservation methods for your favorite foods. Not sure where to start? Take advantage of the author's many family-approved recipes. Melissa K. Norris, fifth-generation homesteader and host of the popular Pioneering Today podcast, walks you through every step of preserving food at home."--back cover.
