The Preserved Pantry Cookbook

Everyday meals from jars, cans and the cupboard.

The companion to The Preserved Pantry Manual. One book fills the jars; this one empties them.

EVERY RECIPE, WRITTEN TWICE

YOURS is the amount from your own home-canned jar. STORE is the supermarket equivalent, in the sizes cans actually come in. Use either, or mix them in the same pot.

If you have never sealed a jar in your life, every recipe still works from cans off the shelf.

THE MEAT SWAP

Canned meat is already cooked, so it goes in last. Raw meat goes in first because it needs the hours. Every meat recipe forks at the step where those two paths split, so the same dinner works from a jar, a fresh cut, or the freezer.

WHAT IS INSIDE

Part One: The Pantry Kitchen

Part Two: The Slow Cooker

Part Three: Tomatoes, Beans and the Everyday Cans

Part Four: Meat, Any Way You Have It

Part Five: The Dry Cupboard

Part Six: What You Put Up Yourself

Part Seven: The Old Table

Part Eight: The Plans, including a month of meals, the $50 week, cooking when the power is out, and the holiday table from the pantry

Two indexes. One by ingredient, dish and method. One called What's in Your Hand, organized by the jar or can you are actually holding.

130 photographs. Laid out at 6x9, so the pages print at home with a margin for a binder, a note, or an ingredient swap.

HONEST NOTES

The recipes are cross-checked for method and for food safety, and they have not each been individually kitchen-tested. That is stated inside the book too. Cooking times and seasoning are starting points.

This is not a canning book and nothing here goes back into a jar. For putting food up safely, that is the Manual.
