Preserving & Pickling Season
July 15 – October 1From mid-July through early fall, gardens and markets overflow with cucumbers, tomatoes, stone fruit, peppers, beans, and cabbage—prime time to preserve. This season spotlights quick pickles, long brines, water-bath canning, and lacto-fermentation to lock in peak flavor. Set up a clean workspace, sterilize jars, mind headspace, and balance acidity, salt, and sugar for safety and texture. Make crunchy dills, bright relishes, and jewel-toned jams; label and cool jars before storing in a dark pantry. Lean on pectin for low-pectin fruits, and keep a crock bubbling with kimchi or sauerkraut. Preserve now, enjoy all winter.
