“Sherri Vinton’s books are the finest, most aptly-detailed guides to food preservation that I know and use. As an orchard-keeper and fruit canner, the release of this new volume excites me to no end, because it is exactly what I need to move my own practice and business along. When I die, I don’t want to be cremated, or buried, I want someone to “put me up” using one of Sherri’s recipes…”
— Gary Nabhan, author, Coming Home to Eat and weird old uncle of the local food movement
