    For the first time in thirty years I know exactly what I put up last autumn.

    It prompted me while the fruit was still on the tree, not a fortnight after it had gone.

    My daughter has already asked to have it when I am done with it.

    No — this one is digital. The download information is sent straight to your email after checkout, so you can read it on your computer, tablet or phone within minutes. If you prefer paper, it is formatted to print beautifully at home.

    Mostly a workbook. The traditional methods are explained plainly, but the heart of it is somewhere to write down what you put up and how it turned out, season by season.

    I would. It is formatted to print at home, and mine lives in the pantry with a pencil sitting on top of it.

    30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

    Try it risk-free — if it's not for you, full refund, no questions asked.

    ★★★★★ "I have preserved for thirty years and never written a single thing down, which meant every autumn I was guessing at what I had done the autumn before — how long, how much, what worked. This year there is a note for everything. Next season will be the first one I go into knowing."
    — Estelle R., age 72, Vermont, US

    ★★★★★ "The practical difference is timing. It follows the year properly, so I was prompted while the plums were still on the tree instead of a fortnight after they had dropped. I got two extra batches out of the season for that reason alone."
    — Marguerite A., age 68, Perthshire, UK

    ★★★★★ "I printed mine and it lives in the pantry with a pencil on top. What took me by surprise is that my daughter has asked to have it when I am done with it. I did not expect a workbook to turn into that."
    — Constance B., age 79, Tasmania, Australia

    HOW THIS REACHES YOU

    This is a digital book. The moment your order is complete, the download information is sent straight to your email, so you can read it on your computer, tablet or phone — there is nothing to wait for and nothing to ship.

    You will normally receive two emails: your order confirmation, then the download itself. If the second one does not appear, please look in your spam or promotions folder, as that is usually where it hides.

    WHAT'S INSIDE

    A seasonal companion workbook — traditional preserving methods explained plainly, and pages that follow the year with room to record what you put up, when, in what quantity, and how it turned out.

    It is the written record most of us never keep, and which becomes rather precious once a few years of it have gone by.

    MY PROMISE TO YOU (30 DAY GUARANTEE)
    Your satisfaction means everything to me. I did not write this to sell you something — I wrote it because it changed my own home, and I wanted it in yours.

    So here is what I will tell you plainly: try it for 30 days. If you are not happy with it for any reason at all, write to me and I will make it right — a full refund, or another solution that works for you. I have no interest in keeping money for something that did not help you.

    • I Finally Have A Record

      Thirty years of preserving and not one written note. Now there is a note for everything, and next year I will not be guessing.

      Estelle R. 72

    • Nothing Missed Its Season

      It nudged me while the plums were still on the tree. That has never once happened before.

      Marguerite A. 68

    • It Is Becoming An Heirloom

      My daughter asked to have it when I am finished. I did not expect a workbook to mean that much.

      QUESTIONS

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do I receive it?

      After checkout, the download information is sent to your email so you can access it on your computer, tablet or phone. If you do not see it, please check your spam or promotions folder — that is usually where it hides.

      Does this teach me how to preserve?

      It does both — traditional methods explained plainly, alongside room to record your own year. It is a companion workbook rather than a technical manual.

      Should I print it?

      I would, yes. Mine lives in the pantry with a pencil on top of it. The digital version is formatted to print at home.

      Can I use it for more than one year?

      Certainly. Many readers print a fresh copy each year and keep the old ones together, which over time becomes rather a lovely record.

      Can I print it?

      Yes — it is formatted to print at home if you would rather have it on paper.

      Can I read it on more than one device?

      Yes — your copy is yours to keep, and it can be opened on your phone, tablet or computer whenever you like.

      What if I am not satisfied?

      Your satisfaction means everything to me. If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, please contact me within 30 days and I will make it right — a full refund, or another solution that works for you.
