Is there any online info that concentrates on this aspect of gardening? Or a
good book that someone can recommend?

Lots and lots.

First and foremost, get yourself the latest edition of the "Ball Blue
Book."
Imagine Ed McMahon saying, "That's amazing, Johynny.... EVERYTHING you
could ever want to know about preserving food is in THIS BOOK!"

It's either a slender paperback or a big pamphlet... consider it the Holy
Writ of food preserving. Beyond that, there's lots of information... plug
USDA, canning, freezing, pickling into your favorite search engine and
duck.

I just got "Wild Fermentation," which has more than anybody needs to know
about pickles, kraut and more, with a lot of background on the cultures
that invented these things (Who thought burying a bunch of fish in the
ground to make sauce was a good idea). I like that sort of stuff. But
then, I'm weird.
