Description

Preserving fruits and vegetables is a great way to turn home-grown or local produce into delicious treats that can be enjoyed year-round. This guide offers several different preserving methods, all with delicious results. Jams, jellies, fruit butters and curds, bottled fruits, chutneys, pickles, and salted vegetables are all practical and economical ways to preserve seasonal produce. You don't need many kitchen gadgets or equipment to get started, just a heavy-based pan, funnel, sugar thermometer, and a selection of glass storage jars. Ingredient lists, popular fruits and vegetables, sugars and cooking techniques are all explained, along with storage information, helpful hints and tips. With over 80 recipes, Guide to Preserving Food offers essential information for homemade products using fresh produce.
