“When I was growing up, canning was for old folks and cranks and separatists,” writes Liana Krissoff in her introduction to Canning for a New Generation. But not anymore. With soaring food prices and the increasing popularity of all things domestic and DIY, there’s never been a better time to revisit the centuries-old techniques of preserving food at home.
This hip, modern handbook is filled with fresh and new ways to preserve nature’s bounty throughout the year. Organized by season and illustrated with beautiful photographs, it offers detailed instructions and recipes for making more than 150 canned, pickled, dried, and frozen foods, as well as 50 inventive recipes for dishes using these foods. Basic information on canning techniques and lively sidebars round out this refreshing take on a classic cooking tradition.
Praise for Canning For a New Generation:
"A seasonal guide to putting up produce, with innovative recipes that incorporate the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor."
-The New York Times
Liana Krissoff, a freelance recipe tester, editor, and writer, is the author of STC’s Secrets of Slow Cooking and Hot Drinks for Cold Nights. Krissoff lives with her husband and daughter in rural Carlton, Georgia.

Fantastic and thorough,
This review is from: Canning for a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavors for the Modern Pantry (Paperback)
The recipes are well organized and photography is beautiful. This book is great for both the beginner canner and more experienced ones. Organized by season, the recipes range from basic Strawberry Jam to more unique items like Kimchi (a korean condiment) and Meyer Lemon & Rose Petal Marmalade. Many of the canned recipes include helpful serving hints and there are some main-dish and dessert recipes scattered throughout using the canned items.

Fantastic Canning Bible,

This review is from: Canning for a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavors for the Modern Pantry (Paperback)
I've searched high and low for great canning books and this one takes the cake. There are so many amazing recipes, including recipes for ways to use your preserves months later. There are some seemingly repetitive recipes (like multiple strawberry or raspberry jams) but I love it! The difference between Strawberry Lemon Jam, Strawberry Lavender Jam, and Strawberry & Thai Basil Jam are huge.Krissoff gives lots of helpful hints throughout the book and really clearly explains how canning works. The way she writes reminds me of an old friend casually teaching me how to preserve.

Good Start For The Seasons,
This review is from: Canning for a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavors for the Modern Pantry (Paperback)
It's good too inspire people to can, however the only downside was that I don't need multiple "recipes" on the same thing with a few ingredients changed here & there. i.e. multiple strawberry jam recipes.
