Why Dry Preserve Your Own Food?

In essence you have the ability to control what you eat, when you eat and where you eat, not to mention the nutrition and pleasure you get from preserving your own food. Of course, this pleasure is even greater if you happen to be also growing your own food. If that is the case you really are in control.

In this book you will find out all you need to know, everything is laid out in an easy to follow manner. Includes pretreatment and drying charts for both fruits and vegetables. Please look below so see only some of the information contained in this book. I do hope you get as much pleasure from preserving your own food as I do. Thanks, Mary-Beth Stenson.
