Amish Butters & Salsas gives readers a close-up of a world seldom seen to show how canning and preserving and Amish life work rhythmically together. "Growing up Amish, the eldest daughter in a family of seven, canning and preserving were always a part of family life, a part of summertime that went hand in hand with gardening. Now, as a mother of four growing boys with a large garden, I still find canning and preserving a part of my summer tradition. I love gardening, and preserving the beauty of my garden is just another part of that tradition."
