Preserving Summer's Bounty



A Variety of Pickling, Canning, and Preserving Books.

reviewed by: Ali Dyche, Friends of the Library board.

Preserving Summer's Bounty by Susan McClure is a quick guide to freezing,canning,preserving and drying what you grow. It is beautifully laid out, easy to follow and comprehend. The mouth watering recipes are reminiscent of the Ball book. I will definitely want to check this out again. Putting up: A Year Round Guide to Canning in the Southern Tradition by Stephen Palmer Dowdney is a book with truely unique recipes. It is one I will continue to use for the choices for peaches, green tomatoes, and bean dip! What Can I Do With My Herbs? by Judy Barrett is a wonderful compilation of the most commonly used herbs and a few exotic ones as well. It has good advice on how to grow them and possible uses.
