Full Description
Equipped with the knowledge of when to harvest, how to harvest and what supplies are needed to preserve your harvest, anyone can learn what it takes to create authentic, old-fashioned recipes in this age of supermarket dependence. Carla Emery's in-depth knowledge comes from her years spent with farmers and homesteaders who truly lived off the land. Co-author Lorene Forkner offers a discussion of our changing motivation as food consumers and a wealth of recipes for fruits, vegetables, meats and fish and herbs. Do-it-yourselfers can welcome summer's arrival with Chunky Peach Jam and Oven-Dried Tomatoes, or host an Autumn harvest with fresh Herb Bouquets and Smoked Chicken. Step-by-step instructions, illustrations, charts and informational sidebars make the process easy and enjoyable.
