{HISTORY}

A pioneer in the food sciences field, Walter Winfred Chenoweth (1872-1945) spent 30 years educating students and home cooks about the art of preserving food. A professor at Massachusetts Agricultural College (now the University of Massachusetts at Amherst) from 1912-1941, Walter also taught the people of Newfoundland how to can during a perilous time in their island's history. He wrote this book midway through his career, creating a comprehensive compendium of information surrounding all aspects of the canning process from history to ingredients, recipes to techniques, equipment to kitchen construction and storage. And it isn't all about jams and jellies. Purists will love this book for Walter's attention to canned meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, syrups, and beverages along with his practical advice to ensure the most ideal finished product. Anything that can be jarred is covered here in great detail.
