Product Description

Review
"A veritable Tardis of tips on how to preserve the harvest glut. A perfect present." 'Every serious organic gardener should have a copy' Organic Gardening. 'Very practical - a great gift for any gardener' Centre for Alternative Technology.

Product Description
What can you do with a glut of tomatoes? How do you bottle plums and string onions? What can you do that is interesting with all those huge marrows? How do you keep potatoes through the winter? With less than an acre of garden you can grow enough produce to feed a family of four for a year, but as much of the produce will ripen simultaneously in the summer, most of it will go to waste without proper storage and you ll be off to the shops again. How to Store Your Garden Produce the key to self-sufficiency is packed with ideas for making your produce last for months and helping you embrace the wonderful world of self sufficiency. Here are simple and enjoyable techniques for bottling, clamping, fermenting, drying, freezing, salting and vacuum packing, as well as delicious recipes for jams, jellies, pickles and chutneys, relishes and ketchups, fruit butters and cheeses. With this book, you will know where your food has come from, you will save money, there will be no packaging and you ll be eating the best produce you can eat your own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable guide, 19 Jul 2008
By P. Walker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How did I manage without this book? My colleagues at work regularly share our surplus produce from our gardens and allotments. This book has provided much needed inspiration for us. The plum chutney recipe is a real winner! The second edition is much improved with many more recipes.
I shall not be short of ideas this summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, 17 Jan 2009
By Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I've often regretted planting so much of certain foods in the past and wondered what to do with them once harvested. But now armed with this fine manual I can go to war against the hordes of veg that try to overpower my little garden !!

This is the revised and enlarged edition and it happily answers a lot of the questions that I've been too embarrassed to ask. From apples to turnips and everything in between this book reveals the secrets to successful storage and throws in quite a few nice little recipes as well, the mushroom ketchup being my personal favourite. Incidentally there's a recipe here for " spitfire sauce " and I can safely say "ya wont only spit fire ......" Anyway I highly recommend this book to both the seasoned gardener and the enthusiastic amateurs like me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful reference book, 10 Jul 2008
By A. S. Gilbert (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very useful reference book and whilst some of the advice might not be practical for some of us, it is nevertheless very interesting.

My copy is very well thumbed!

Even if you do not anticipate a glut of a particular vegetable at the moment, you never know what the next season's weather will bring. Maybe this WILL be a good year for beetroot!
