The Preserving Garden

The Preserving Garden - Jo Turner

The Preserving Garden is a beautifully illustrated guide to a garden that provides food all year round. It contains over 40 plant profiles with growing notes to establish or enhance a garden and teaches you how to create a vegetable bed or a small orchard in any location - including where to start, when to plant, and how to care for the garden. The book includes easy-to-use recipes and techniques for chutneys, condiments, jams, jellies, marmalades, bottling, and drying. Enjoy your home-grown produce all year round: prepare tomato puree for sauces, ferment cabbage for sauerkraut, dry cherries for muffins, and much more. If you use fruit or vegetables grown in your own garden or on a plot (or simply in pots), you reduce the food miles, waste, plastic consumption, and regain control over what goes into the food you eat - all of which are current issues being tackled by long-established practices. This book, offering a joyful reinterpretation of culinary illustrations, is an inspirational and practical gift for food lovers regardless of local growing conditions.
