I lost my old copy

When I moved from a previous residence I mistakenly did not pack this precious book. I has been a reference of mine for thirty years. I miss it like a long, lost friend. If you can obtain a copy I hightly recommend it. It is essential for anyone who loves preserving, or finds themselves with an excess of any foodstuffs. Even has a recipe and explanation of Chinese 1000 year eggs, and my lost recipe for currant liquor. Excellent. Can we talk the publishers into a new printing?

the complete guide guide to canning, freezing, etc..

Covers food storage techniques from around the world; --pickling, smoking, canning, drying, freezing and jelly-making. Then theres a special section on wines, cheeses sausages and other preserves. The instructions are clear and the recipes are classics! No matter what your tastes are there is something in here for you. In addition to being informative there are plenty of antedotes throughout that keep the reading light and interesting. The following short list of recipes available might give you some idea of how vast their coverage of the topic was.CHESTNUT PASTE MILK LIQUEUR HOME STYLE GERMAN CHEESE CARROT JAM GUAVA JELLY CRABAPPLE WINEI'd say it was innovative if i didn't know it was old-fashioned!!!
