This is a blog about home canning—or "putting up" as one might say where I'm from—and it will cover jams and other fruit preserves, pickles and briny things, canned vegetables (above all tomatoes) and the complement of condiments that includes relishes, sauces, salsas and those related preparations that result when you chunk bits of seasonal produce and preserve them in a syrup either piquant or sweet.

It's Starting to look like a book

DateTuesday, July 10, 2012 | | | Comment2 Comments

Ok, maybe that's overstating it, but the copyedited manuscript I sent back to Knopf yesterday is starting to read like a book—a cookbook, that is. The manuscript was about 700 pages and weighed nine pounds on the FedEx scale. I'm not sure about the final recipe count. Somewhere under 200, but not by much. Also I just saw the cover design, and I love it. Stay tuned.

Yikes, you've clearly been working hard, Kevin! I can hardly wait for the book (and for you to start printing recipes here in your blog again!).
