Product Description
Product Description
Traditionally a method of keeping and enjoying food beyond its season, pickling and preserving are skills that have been handed down through the generations. There is still nothing more satisfying than filling your pantry and cupboards with your own homemade preserves; pungent chutneys, piquant pickles, luscious jams, cool, delicate jellies and tangy spiced vinegars. All kinds of ingredients are used, from the end of summer green tomato in a traditional chutney to the exotic candied starfruit, or tangy limes in hot lime pickle. Alongside the much-loved strawberry jam, marmalade and piccalilli are unusual recipes such as spiced pears and scented geranium leaf jelly. Herby butters, spiced mustards, flavoured oils and vinegars, spicy chutneys, succulent berries preserved in liquer, farmhouse pickles and jams and candied fruit also feature in this book, bringing you a wealth of preserves that are easy to make. There are step-by-step projects throughout, with a picture of every finished item. This book that makes the most of seasonal vegetables, fruit and flowers in a wealth of recipes for the pantry or to present as gifts.

Format:Paperback
The recipies are as easy to follow, as are the ones handed down by my mum and my gran. This is not a comprehensive book of preserving, but it has some good ideas, and if you have the courage, the recipies are easy to adapt for whatever you want to use. The mango chutney recipe is a must for all lovers of Indian pickles, and can be adapted to use lime or grapefruit, instead of the listed lemon or orange. I've used whatever is in the fruit bowl - and it seems to go down okay with the family and friends.
The pear and apple chutney recipies are adaptable to whatever quantities you have available at the time you decide to make chutney.
Being a true, "and therefore frugal Scot", chutney is an important way of making your produce go further, and these recipies fit that bill.
