Publisher Comments:

Popular food blogger Marisa McClellan takes you through all manner of food in jars, storing away the tastes of all seasons for later. Basics like jams and jellies are accompanied by pickles, chutneys, conserves, whole fruit, tomato sauces, salsas, marmalades, nut butters, seasonings, and more. Small batches make them easy projects for a canning novice to tackle, and the flavors of vanilla bean, sage, and pepper will keep more experienced jammers coming back for more.

Sample some Apricot Jam and Rhubarb Syrup in the spring, and then try your hand at Blueberry Butter and Peach Salsa in the summer; Dilly Beans and Spicy Pickled Cauliflower ring in the fall, while Three-Citrus Marmalade and Cranberry Ketchup are the harbingers of winter.

Stories of wild blackberry jam and California Meyer lemon marmalade from McClellan's childhood make for a read as pleasurable as it is delicious; her home-canned food — learned from generations of the original "foodies" — feeds the soul as well as the body in more than 100 recipes.

Synopsis:

Preserving delicious canned fruits, yummy jams, and savory pickles has never been easier with Marisa McClellan's essential guide to home preserving and canning.

Start with apricot jam in the spring, then try blueberry butter in the summer. Follow that with pickled Brussel sprouts in the fall, and end the year with three-citrus marmalade and cranberry conserve in the winter.

Snack on ginger walnut granola or dilly beans year-round. With 100 tried and true recipes for jellies, spreads, salsas, and more, Food in Jars offers a world of preserving that'll leave the processed, store-bought stuff in the dust.

After getting this book out of the library, I tagged so many things to make that I decided to buy it. Her recipes are inventive yet simple, and their small size make it easy to bang one out in a short period of time. The small-batch style also made it more appealing to try recipes that I might have otherwise skipped, like cantaloupe jam - which has become my new favorite! The book's construction and design are lovely, as is her writing that accompanies the recipes. My only complaint is the heavy use of liquid pectin, which tends to create a firmer set than I typically like, but I plan to experiment with swapping in powdered. All in all, I can't recommend this book enough!

That I should like Marisa's book is hardly a surprise, as I love her blog's mix of stories, basic preservation tips, jam and pickle recipes, and information on all sorts of foods she puts in jars. But I was still thrilled and surprised to see both the ordinary and delicious recipes and information -- like strawberry vanilla jam, and sweet and sour pickled onions -- with the unusual and inspirational recipes, like cantaloupe jam with vanilla, rosemary salt, cultured butter, and a quintet of granola recipes. I'll be finding tips, reference-style preserving information, and inspiration from this book for years (and it's absolutely going to be a gift for friends just beginning to explore Food in Jars).
