Being a lover of all things canned as well as fermented, I decided to attempt to bridge the gap by writing a cookbook which features one or more water bath canned recipe as well as one or more fermented recipe for each fruit and vegetable in the book.

I’ve already made cranberry apple jam, cranberry apple butter, and cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving – all recipes can be found in my cookbooks. Other recipes that I have yet to make but can also be found in my books include cranberries infused in honey, fermented cranberry relish, and infus
