Preserving the Harvest

Preserving doesn’t have to be complicated or all-consuming. Whether your garden is exploding or you scored a crate of produce at the market, a handful of simple, realistic methods can stretch those ingredients far beyond the season.

These preserving recipes are practical, approachable, and perfect for home cooks who want to enjoy garden flavor year-round without marathon canning sessions. Think freezing, dehydrating, herb storage, and a little small-batch canning — the methods I actually use in my own kitchen.
