I would like to tackle fermenting and pressure canning – pressure canning because I am somewhat terrified of pressure cookers! Tweeted too from @shanatweet
I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a smoker so would like to get some good tips and ideas.
I would love to read the section on dehydrating because I received a dehydrator as a gift and am dying to try it out. All topics look interesting to me though.
Would love to learn more about dehydrating! 🙂
I have never done any of them so I would start with the water bath. Food is so expensive now that to be able to preserve it properly would be a great skill to have
Thanks for the chance to win. I have done a little dehydrating but would like to learn more about it. I’d also like to try water bath preserving.
I would love to learn the salt and smoke technique because I’ve never smoked anything before.
I would like to learn the dehydrating technique to preserve mushrooms that I find on my forays.
Dehydrating! I’d like to learn how to preserve herbs by drying some of them rather than relying on my freezer all the time.
I tweeted!!

I want to get braver to try canning and also get more fermenting ideas. Yum!
Preserving food is close to my heart!
When my youngest son died I turned to gardening to work through my grief. I had a 4000 square food garden that summer. With a bumper crop I had to learn how to can and make pickles and jams.
What a learning experience it was.
Saying that I would love to learn more about fermenting.
I Tweeted as well! @Redawna
Dehydrating (would love to try with Ontario peaches!) and water bath canning. Lovely to have a Canadian contest too.
I tweeted as well.
I think that fermenting is something that I would like to try, especially as my family loves kimchee !
I’d love to learn more about fermentation, since watching the series Cooked, I’m fascinated by the process.
I would like to learn any number of new ways to preserve (other than my freezer), but I would have to start with my phobia — hot water bath canning!

I want to start with water bath canning and then try fermenting.
I would love to learn more about fermenting and the salt cure process! Thanks for the great opportunity!
I’m interested in learning about preserving using smoking as my husband got a smoker recently and it still needs to get used.
I want to learn more about fermenting
I’d like to try fermenting
I’d love to learn pressure canning and fermenting – my cellar is full of waterbath canned jars of salsas and jams and I’d love to expand a bit for a more well rounded pantry!
I would like to learn more about pressure canning.
This time of year gets me excited. Rhubarb is popping up and asparagus are ready to be purchased. Let preserving season begin.
I would like to try fermenting!
I need fermentation knowledge. Badly!

I’m already a home brewer so fermentation really interests me
I would love to learn so much more about canning and fermenting!
It would be wonderful to win the “Batch” cookbook because I love
working with food and preserving things.Thanks so much for this
amazing opportunity and chance to win it!!
I started to learn about canning but I don’t even know what cellaring is! I’d love to learn about that and whether my cold room would actually be useful. Sometimes I think it is too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter. Gah.
I’d really love to learn how to ferment. Always been a little scared of the process but I’m sure this book could help me out 😉
I’d like to learn more about water bath canning since it seems like a really good (and safe) starter method which would be perfect for me!!
I would love to learn about smoking foods
I’m curious about fermenting, as that is a technique I haven’t tried yet. On the other hand … that relish! With asparagus season coming into gear, I think I need to make some of that too!

Thanks for the opportunity to win! Looks like a fantastic resource. I’m interested in all types of preserving, especially fermentation.
Tweeted, too! @robynkp
I would like to learn infusing because it sounds flavourful
I really want to try salting & smoking. I’ve done some water bathing before and I’d love to expand my preserving abilities.
I tweeted too @trennum
Pressure canning scares the bejeepers out of me, but it’s on my bucket list to master, preferably sooner rather than later!
Salted and smoked canning seems super interesting! I’ve never done any type of canning before so I would love to learn!
Looks excellent! I love asparagus too. As a first time home owner, I’m looking for all the info and help I can for preserving our garden goodies all year round. I’m most familiar with water bath canning, but looking to practice my dehydrating, pressure canning and fermenting. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I would love to learn about salting and dehydarting. Thanks for this opportunity.
Water bath canning is an old tried and true technique that I was never taught. It’s great for pickles and that’s why I’d like to learn it.
