Preserving in smaller batches, throughout the year

Ellie Topp’s guide organizes more than 300 recipes around ways to preserve fruit and vegetables in small quantities. The collection ranges from jams, jellies and low-sugar spreads to pickles, chutneys, salsas, flavored oils and dessert sauces. Traditional and newer recipes sit alongside instructions for processing, with some recipes adapted for microwave use. A chapter on freezer preserving adds an alternative to the book’s other methods. The small-batch approach connects preserving to seasonal produce without centering the project on large quantities, while the range of preparations extends beyond sweet spreads to savory condiments and drinks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks interested in preserving seasonal fruits and vegetables in small batches.
  • Cooks seeking a collection that includes both sweet preserves and savory condiments.
  • Readers interested in freezer preserving as well as canning and other methods.

Book overview

The easiest and safest methods for making delectable preserves in small batches -- all year long.

"Takes the pressure off cooks who don't have much time... but still want to savor the season's bounty."
-Chicago Tribune (Review of the prior edition)

The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving takes the guesswork out of home preserving. Both beginners and pros can make the most of fresh fruits and vegetables when these are readily available and inexpensive. Because these recipes require a minimum of time and fuss, home cooks will enjoy creating the preserves almost as much as everyone will enjoy tasting them.

Included are both traditional and new recipes. Detailed instructions provide the safest and latest processing methods. Some recipes are suitable for microwaves. A brand new chapter features freezer preserving as an alternative to the traditional methods. The more than 300 enticing recipes include:

  • Jams, jellies and low-sugar spreads
  • Conserves, butters and curds
  • Pickles, relishes and chutneys
  • Salsas, mustards and marinades
  • Flavored oils
  • Dessert sauces, syrups and liqueurs.

With delectable recipes and professional tips, The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving is the ideal guide for anyone who craves home-made preserves but doesn't want to spend all day in the kitchen.
