The art of preserving produce has come full circle, from our ancestors’ kitchens to a whole new generation eager to learn how. This detailed, step-by-step guide from the experts at America’s Test Kitchen is perfect for first-time and experienced canners alike. You’ll get 110 foolproof small-batch recipes across a wide range of categories, from sweet to savory.
