Pick, Preserve, Serve: Enjoying Local and Home-grown Produce Year-round

David Bateman, 2008 - Canning and preserving - 128 pages, as new condition, card covers, 25x18cm, colur illust. 1 Review

"Whether growing fruit and vegetables at home or buying produce at farmers' markets and greengrocers, we are, more and more, seeking fresh, local and honest food. But how do you make the most of produce when at its abundant, seasonal best? And what do you do with a bumper crop from your own garden? What is the best way to capture those wonderful, naturally-ripened flavours so you can savour them year-round? The answers lies in the age-old, tried-and true art of preserving: drying; salting; smoking; pickling; alcohol; oils; bottling; sugar; freezing. Pick, Preserve, Serve briefly describes these methods and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each."--Publisher description.
