Overview
Preserving the Seasons is a straightforward guide to boiling water canning, drying, dehydrating, freeze-drying, infusing, freezing, and quick pickling. These are the easiest and most effective methods for preserving produce and herbs—and edible flowers, and Holly Capelle is an expert home-preserver and cook.
Organized by method and abundant with beautiful photography, each section covers detailed information for best practices, along with troubleshooting and storage tips. Here, too, are recipes for delicious dishes that use what you’ve put up, so you can serve what you’ve preserved: Oil and vinegar infused with herbs, peppers, and alliums, that are perfect for pasta sauces and salads; herb blends such as Greek Seasoning Blend, that make use of dried herbs and bring flavor and ease to any dish; freezer and shelf-stable jam, such as Black Pepper Plum Jam or Any Stone Fruit Preserves, perfect on toast, in homemade ice cream and other treats; Rosemary Citrus Bundt Cake made with dehydrated oranges; quick Pickled Pepper Slices, an instant condiment for burgers and tacos; Peach Slab Pie, that brings summer anytime with frozen peaches, just to name a few.

Now, anyone will be inspired either to start preserving or to find new ideas for using and cooking with what they have made.
