With the heat closing in, and the harvest pouring in so exuberantly, it’s hard to imagine that winter will ever return … that a time will come when fresh tomatoes seem painfully far away, when you dream fondly of the crunch of cucumber, when you would give anything for a ripe peach.

Despite the desire to deny the fact that winter will come eventually, now is the time to start thinking seriously about preserving produce. Whether you have the time and equipment for freezing, canning, pickling or drying, I guarantee that you’ll thank yourself in Febraury!
