Fully revised with photographs throughout, this handy guide shows you how to store your garden produce to become self-sufficient all year round.

There is a huge sense of satisfaction in being able to lower your food miles and become so self-reliant that you can grow fresh fruit and vegetables all year. With less than an acre, you can cultivate enough produce to feed a family of four for an entire year – but as most produce is ripe in the summer and autumn, most of it will go to waste without proper storage.

How to Store Your Garden Produce: The Key to Self-Sufficiency is a modern guide to storing and preserving your garden produce, enabling you to eat home-grown goodness all year round. The book is beautifully organised with the first part detailing a variety of creative storage methods, including basic storage, clamping, drying and vacuum-packing as well as pickles, chutneys, jams and jellies.

The section section features an easy-to-use A-Z list of produce, in which each entry includes recommended varieties, suggested methods of storage and a range of delicious and unusual recipes to try out, from apple cider and strawberry wine to mushroom ketchup and pumpkin soup. Updated to include vegan alternatives where possible and filled with beautiful photos, the third edition of this comprehensive book will allow you to know where your food has come from, save money, avoid packaging and eat home-grown food throughout the year.

Learn simple and enjoyable techniques for storing your produce and embrace the wonderful world of self-sufficiency.
