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.
Sign up here for recipes, discounts on my line of artisanal jams (launching soon) and updates on my book, coming from Knopf in spring 2013.

I grew up eating tons of rhubarb back in the Midwest, but can't ever seem to find it in Southern California ... where do you get it?
Nice to see you posting again, Kevin; we miss you!
Bowen, I've seen rhubarb at Von's, but I also run into it at farmers' markets, too.
If you have a place to garden, PLANT some rhubarb! Even at farmers' markets, the specimens are pretty sorry.
In Michigan, rhubarb and strawberries are not in season at the same time....rhubarb comes first, then berries later.
Yes...my rhubarb is ready, I made a rhubarb cake last week...strawberries should be ready in Ohio soon! ♥
