What sets this book apart?
- It’s organized by fruits and vegetables in the season they peak, so it’s easy to focus on the season you’re in.
- Pat Crocker tips you off to which varieties of fruits and vegetables you’ll have the best success with, so you’ll know what to ask for at the market, or to focus on growing in your own garden.

persimmons, ground cherries, and tomatillos! - Along with dozens of must-make recipes for preserves, Preserving offers a wide range of recipes using the preserves, including appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes, main courses, and desserts.
