"Beth Dooley and Mette Nielsen break through the mystery of the pickle in these masterfully created recipes on preserving the Northern way. They explore produce from the cucumber to the gooseberry in imaginative but approachable and fun ways."—Paul Berglund, 2016 James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Midwest

"Mette Nielsen and Beth Dooley have conjured one of those books you'll stain, stuff with Post-it notes, and save. Anyone can make a tomato taste good, but a parsnip, as in a very good sweet parsnip preserve? Now we're talking imagination. We may yearn for entire weekends of making old-time preserves, yet it's rarely possible. These two make this happen on work nights in time to slather your new condiment over that 'same-old' veggie burger with swell results. This one is a keeper."—Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Host, The Splendid Table® from American Public Media

"This delightful book is full of promise—the promise of summer being everlasting, the promise of the beguiling sweet and savory flavors of herbs, fruit, vegetables and surprising spices and combinations gracing a winter table. I love its practical side, too, such as the use of dried fruit when it’s better than fresh—a situation I’m too familiar with. This is a lovely work."—Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy and The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

"Absolutely a home cook’s canning bible."—St. Cloud Times

"There are 200 pages of recipes here to keep you occupied during harvest season and ensure that you’ll have a stocked pantry in the coldest, most barren months."—City Pages

"In their cookbook Beth Dooley and Mette Nielsen show first-time cooks and experienced canners alike how to turn fresh produce at the peak of the season into brilliant condiments."—Viking Magazine
