You've harvested some amazing produce from your garden. Now what? In this fun and informative presentation, Bevin talks about a variety of food preservation techniques: canning, dehydrating, fermenting, freezing, pickling, and smoking, as well as making jams, jellies, and marmalades. He'll also discuss using salt, fats, and sugar to brine, cure, and candy foods. Bevin will share historical perspectives on the techniques, information on how each is accomplished, lists of the equipment needed, tips for success, plus attendees will get to sample select recipes from Bevin's new book, The Heritage Pantry.
