A wide-ranging reference for canning, pickling, fermenting, and preserving

Organized as both a recipe collection and a practical home-preserving guide, this updated edition brings together 400 preparations, from jams and fruit spreads to salsas, sauces, chutneys, relishes, and pickles. It also expands attention to low-sugar recipes, fermentation, and acidulation techniques. Alongside the recipes, the book presents equipment lists and step-by-step guidance on canning and preserving methods, with material intended to support first-time canners as well as more experienced cooks. Its breadth makes it suited to building a varied pantry from seasonal produce rather than concentrating on a single preserving method.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks beginning to explore canning and preserving
  • Experienced canners seeking a broad, updated recipe reference
  • Cooks interested in low-sugar preserves, fermentation, pickles, and pantry staples
