		<description><![CDATA[Summer is pickling time. From left to right: dill pickles, pickled banana peppers, spicy carrot pickles, dill beans, and that&#8217;s beet kvass in the back. These are all fermented pickles â€” brine pickles, as my great-grandmother would say. To make brine pickles, put vegetables and spices in a jar or crock (it works better if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My cousin Nina is a marmalade queen. All winter, it seemed, she had a pot of marmalade bubbling on the back of her stove. She inspired me and the boy to make several big batches of the lovely stuff before we left the land of local citrus. We did four kinds: ponderosa lemon, bitter seville [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I try to buy any more old canning jars, the boy is going to have a stroke. But the thing is, there&#8217;s nothing better for storing herbs and dry beans and grains and such. The blue tint keeps some sunlight out, which keeps things fresher for longer (you still don&#8217;t want to store them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I swear I will never travel during harvest season again. I mean it. Really. I&#8217;m off to teach at the second annual Northeast Community Herbal Convergence next weekend. I&#8217;m leaving for parts north tomorrow, and this morning it suddenly dawned on me that there might be frost before I get back. (It&#8217;s hard to remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I asked a farmer for these lovely dried October beans, he was surprised. People buy them fresh for shelling, but not for drying. The same goes for limas and butterbeans. Have people forgotten about dried beans altogether? Someone said &#8220;they&#8217;re too much work.&#8221; Not really. Not if you&#8217;re the kind of person who likes [...]]]></description>

But there&#8217;s only so much of that a person can eat. While I was thinking about interesting ways to preserve zucchini, I remembered an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First it was ten gallons of tomatoes to can, then six pecks of peppers to roast. These were &#8220;seconds&#8221; from a local farmerâ€”the slightly overripe or funny-shaped peppers he can&#8217;t sell to restaurants. At $6 a peck, they were absolutely worth it. But patient? No. These peppers were really, really ripe. And that means really, [...]]]></description>

I have extra.&#8221; With my food-hoarding instincts, there&#8217;s no way I could pass that up. Ten gallons later&#8230;. Well, let&#8217;s just say it&#8217;s hot in the kitchen.

		<description><![CDATA[Wine-making is one of my favorite ways to preserve the harvest. And elderberry wine is a classic. It&#8217;s so tastyâ€”a bit like sherry or port. I&#8217;ll tell you how I make it. But if you&#8217;ve never made wine before, I&#8217;d suggest a bit of reading before you start your own. My favorite book on fermentation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week someone gave me a lovely ripe grapefruit from a backyard tree in Florida. Quite a gift when there&#8217;s 3 feet of snow on the ground. The peel was so aromatic I couldn&#8217;t bear to compost it, so I did what my great-grandmother used to do: I made candied grapefruit peel. And while I [...]]]></description>
