Preserving allows you to capture the essence of fruits and vegetables at their peak and enjoy that freshness year-round. In January, when summer’s ripe tomatoes and strawberries are but a distant memory, you’ll savor their sweetness in homemade sauces and jams. Thanks to our new Agrarian assortment, Williams-Sonoma has everything you need to get started — from the tools to recipes and how-to guides.

We partnered with Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton, the artisan cooks behind Canal House, on our new catalog, featuring their new preserving recipes and stunning photography. Get to know them through our Q&A and try their new recipes here.
