Can It & Ferment It More Than 75 Satisfying Small-Batch Canning and Fermentation Recipes for the Whole Year

This book offers a practical and encouraging approach to food preservation, guiding home cooks through the processes of canning and fermentation. Its core purpose is to provide over 75 accessible, small-batch recipes that allow individuals to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor throughout the entire year. The premise is built around demystifying these traditional skills, making them manageable and rewarding for kitchens of all sizes, whether you're preserving a modest harvest or aiming to stock your pantry with delicious, homemade goods. The 'characters' in this culinary narrative are the aspiring preserver, guided by author Stephanie Thurow's expertise, and the ingredients themselves, which are transformed into long-lasting delicacies. The book explores themes of self-sufficiency, sustainable living through reducing food waste, embracing the bounty of each season, and the deep satisfaction derived from crafting food from scratch. Its compelling nature lies in its focus on small-batch recipes, which removes intimidation and opens the door to experimentation for beginners, while offering creative new avenues for experienced preservers looking to expand their repertoire with flavorful and wholesome creations.
