which shows you how to protect and keep all of the bounty of summer.
It is a classic, and I see Amazon has it, in hardcover, for 1 cent plus 3.99 shipping...so for 4.00 it is a great deal.
It sits on my bookcase today, more than 30 years of use.
covers not only freezing, but various canning methods, drying, etc
plus has great recipies for sauces, jams, etc.
