Homemade treats for your pantry or to give as a gift!
Traditionally, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers preserved fruits and vegetables during the harvest season so they could still enjoy them during the cold winter months. Nowadays, the enjoyment of homemade delicacies has gained importance.
With canning recipes, you can build up a supply of the most delicious fruit jams, jellies, marmalades, and purees. Or try preserving plums or peaches in syrup or alcohol, or make your own liqueur. For vegetables, there are traditional sauerkraut, pickled gherkins, pickles, and southern antipasti. With the right techniques, you can also preserve stocks, sauces, and prepared dishes for a longer period, so you can quickly conjure up a delicious meal on days when you don't have much time. Furthermore, in this book you will find recipes for meat and fish terrines and for homemade seasonings, such as ketchup, mustard, pesto, chutney, herb vinegar, and oil.
And of course, in this book you will also read all about the most important canning and preservation techniques, such as pickling, smoking, drying, and fermenting.
