The experts at America's Test Kitchen show you how to easily (and safely) make homemade everything—from fruity jams with beautiful summer berries to piquant pickles from raw vegetables of all kinds—with detailed tutorials, troubleshooting tips, equipment information, instruction on doubling batches, and insight into the science behind canning (How much salt should you use? What's the perfect preserving temperature?). No matter what season it is, which jars you have, or how much time you have, this book has something for everyone, beginner or expert. 

• Sweet Jams & Jellies: Once you’ve turned out flawless favorites like Raspberry & Strawberry, try your hand at Blueberry Earl Grey Jam.
• Savory Jams & Chutneys: Start with classics like Caramelized Onion Jam and then make a delicious Apple Shallot Chutney to pair with a favorite dish.
• Vegetable Pickles: Simply cooked in a vinegar brine or long-fermented, every pickle is perfectly crisp. 
• Fruit in Syrup: Enjoy jewel-like fruit, from bite-size to whole, in a syrup made of the perfect ratio of water to sugar.
• Tomatoes: Intensify their flavor through roasting or lock in summer sweetness with fresh tomato sauce.
