RUBS, MARINADES, GLAZES & BRINES

Rubs, Marinades, Glazes, & Brines

American pioneers developed many sophisticated ways of preparing and preserving food. They canned fruits and vegetables and dried meat to make it through winter. There’s a special ruggedness in making your own food, not only is it more healthy than the plastic wrapped crap you buy in stores, but it’s satisfying . . . and winter is coming.
