$55 for 18 Reasons members; $65 for the general public

So often we think of preserving summer fruits and vegetables, and we stock our pantry shelves with the likes of tomato sauce, cucumber pickles, and peach jam. But we forget about winter! Join Karen Solomon as she inspires and instructs us to preserve the best of winter's fruit. Quince paste, cranberry sauce, and orange hibiscus marmalade are a joy to pull from the shelf in the middle of a SF summer, when we need the flavor equivalent of a warm, wool blanket. They also make perfect gifts for the holiday season!

In addition to the Asian Pickles series, she's also author of Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It and Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It (Ten Speed Press/Random House).
