PUTTING FOOD BY

JANET GREEN

AND RUTH HERTZBERG

This is my major one canning and preserving book. You will need it when you can tomatoes. Because tomatoes are now a high-acid fruit , it is necessary to can them corectly. It is now suggested by the USDA that you add lemon juice or vinegar. Tomatoes are Mary's Homestead number one food as I am Italian and we use a lot of tomatoes. I highly recommend "PUTTING FOOD BY".

You will learn how to :

PRESERVE WITH LESS SUGAR AND SALT

MAKE BETTER THAN STORE BOUGHT FOODS AT HOME

EVERY TYPE OF PRESERVING, INCLUDING CANNING, FREEZING, CONVENIENCE FOODS, CHOOSE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT, FISH, POULTRY, VEGETABLES, JAMS, JELLIES, RELISHES AND PICKLES, AND MAKING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

THIS IS MY ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

YOU WILL LOVE THE TOMATO SECTION. IT TELLS YOU HOW TO CAN TOMATOES SUCCESSFULLY.

CANNING & PRESERVING

YOUR OWN

HARVEST

BY CARLA EMERY & LORENE EDWARDS FORKNER

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 indepth knowledge comes from her years spent with farmers and homesteaders who truly lived off the land. Culling from and expanding on sections in the famed Encyclopedia of Country Living, co-author Lorene Forkner offers a discussion of our changing motivation as food consumers, detailed explanations of recipes for fruits, vegetables, meats and fish, and herbs. From drying to pickling to freezing, Emery's preserving methods are as broad in scope as the recipes themselves. Do-it-your-selfers can welcome summer's arrival with Chunky Peach Jam and Oven Dried Tomatoes, or host a fall harvest iwth fresh Herb Bouquets and Smoked Chicken. Step-by-step instructions, illustrations, charts, and informational sidebars make the process easy and enjoyable.
