In the current economic climate, many people are returning to simpler, more affordable home cooking. Canning and preserving is a time-honoured practice that many people try for the pleasure of it and for its inherent economy. Pat Crocker’s PRESERVING has all the information anyone needs to get started, and to keep going.

This cookbook is practical and focuses on simple but effective concepts. It follows the seasons, providing easy-to-follow, accurate and thorough information on preserving everything from asparagus to winter squashes. Canning, jamming and freezing techniques are covered, from the most basic hot-packed fruit recipes to internationally-flavoured chutneys and relishes.

Providing both safe and detailed instructions, as well as step-by-step photography and over 200 recipes, this cookbook is the new home-preserving bible.
