Introduction

When you’re lucky enough to have an abundant harvest or to live close enough to farms to take advantage of farmer’s markets, you’ll want to put every last tomato and peach to good use. Preserving the harvest can let you enjoy the fruits of your labor for months to come. There are several methods for preserving your fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Which method you choose will depend on the type of fruit or vegetable you are preserving and your ambition level.
