The Grannys Favorite Canning and Preserving Cookbook shows you how to make jellies, butters, conserves, jams, marmalades, sauces, syrups, dried fruits and leathers, preserves, condiments, juices, vinegars, and herb recipes.I have been asked to put this book together as a helping tool for all the people I helped to preserve fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Low sugar preserving is not new. I have been doing it for almost forty years. I preserve with low sugar and without preservatives so my husband, who is diabetic, may enjoy and digest the treats to his satisfaction. Its a wonderful gift for you to share with your family.Homemade preserves offer pleasing, inexpensive, and wholesome means of satisfying the universal hunger for something sweet at meal time. Home-canned fruits, in good supply, is a safeguard to family health by supplying vitamins and minerals necessary to our physical well-being and provides a tasty way that helps with our food budget.
