People have been preserving food since ancient times-
evidence shows that Middle Eastern cultures were using the heat of the sun to dry their
foods as early as 12,000 BC-
for reasons of survival or culture or both. Fast forward to the present day, and preserving our food-
perhaps homegrown, seasonal, local, organic, or free-range-
is an essential
and enjoyable part of a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
The ideal companion for dabblers, foodies, and anyone interested in having a closer relationship
with what they eat, Wisdom for Home Preservers is a friendly, informative guiding
hand to the whole range of traditional food-preservation techniques: drying, freezing, jam- and jelly-making, pickling, canning, salting and fermenting, curing, and smoking, plus storing and troubleshooting too.
