When I was preparing to leave New York for the move back to Austin, I met up with my friend Autumn near the West 4th subway stop and passed along the torch of my rickety little granny cart. This cart had been my accomplice in hauling all sorts of fruits and vegetables (and laundry and, and, and…) all over the city during my early preserving years. At that time Autumn was already an accomplished blogger and greenmarket pro and I enjoyed leaving the cart in such good hands. She promised to show my cart the same sort of good times I’d had with it.
Autumn and I have always had a lot in common—mad scientist preserving, poetry, gluten-free baking, cocktails, teaching, herbalism, etc.—and I’ve been constantly inspired by the things Autumn cooks up. I was lucky to have Autumn’s signature and spot-on description of my Hip Girl’s Guide to Homemaking book, “more MacGyver than Martha”, and honored to be on her literary + food podcast a few years back.
Autumn has since moved to Arizona, my childhood state!, and passed along the granny cart to another deserving NYC schlepper, I’m sure. She’s been busy with this fine book and now that it’s here, I’m so thrilled to share it with you. I’ve been enjoying it, sticking little pieces of paper between the pages to mark recipes I’m adding to my preserving plan of attack.
Beyond Canning is a thorough and inviting primer on the types of preserving projects you probably want to bust into. The gorgeous photos and her beau’s illustrations make this a drool worthy read that will hopefully have you headed straight to the farmers’ market! Most of all I appreciate the relaxed and friendly writing that accompanies these innovative and delicious recipes. Autumn is the smart, savvy preserving pal you want showing you the ropes. Her writing is like standing around the kitchen with a pal, bubbly shrub in hand, chatting about what you’re going to do with all that rhubarb.
Autumn’s publisher allowed me to share one of the recipes from the book. It was hard to pick just one recipe to feature, but I’m pickling eggs to take with us on the road to west Texas this week. I halved the batch, but can already tell I’ll be making more of these.

Nothing says road trip snack to me more than bloody mary pickled eggs! Click the image below to view a larger version of the recipe.

I mostly can jams & jellies & really want to branch out this year into SO many other things! My garden planning has been centered around all the things I can can up!
Those pickled eggs look amazing! I definitely want to try that out!!
Hoping to focus on ferments this year! Just trying to find the TIME!
Those eggs look amazing! I will be making those for sure!
The Celery & Black Pepper Shrub sounds intriguing - hoping to make it sometime!
I love to put up tomatoes. They are so useful to have on hand when planning meals.
I'd love to learn how to make my own pickles and jar my own kimchi! This book looks beyond perfect!
Sauerkraut for me!
Oooh. These eggs look fantastic
My favorite things to preserve are wild blackberries for jelly, cucumbers for pickles, and tomatoes for sauce. I would love a new recipe for relish or chutney with help from this book.
I would like to learn to ferment this year.

I love to make jams from farm fresh fruit. Thanks for the book opportunity
I'm not sure how I feel about pickled eggs, it just sounds so weird, but I would love to try one to decide. Otherwise, I love making yogurt, sauerkraut and pickles.
I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I would also enjoy seeing a Sauerkraut recipe. If I can can sauerkraut in smaller jars then I would be able to enjoy Reuben sandwiches more often seeing as I am the only one that loves sauerkraut. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
My favorite thing to preserve is pickles! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jam and pickles made from things in my garden.
I've been dreaming picnics lately, so I'm hoping to make a batch of pickled eggs to take along. My preserving has been extremely utilitarian: applesauce, green beans, zucchini soup... Looking to branch out into the delicious and adventurous this year.
I mostly can jams, but I also do pickles and tomatoes.
I've never been brave enough to pickle eggs, but these look amazing!
Great recipe. Thanks.
Lovely recipe. Those eggs look great!
I want to learn to make sauerkraut.
OMG. Pickled eggs?! That is something so new to me - I must try these for myself at once!
I'm really excited to get into some pickled eggs!
I just made ginger-turmeric-black pepper pickled eggs, so these Bloody Mary eggs sound really tempting. My favorite preserve is probably dill pickles though. The store-bought ones usually have food coloring in them, so I like to make my own.
