The Perfect Pickle Book

Fresh produce has always been at the heart of good pickling, and home-grown is best of all. Increasing numbers of allotment holders are subscribing to the notion of 'plant it, pick it and pickle it', precisely because it makes-economic as well as culinary sense, but visitors to the ever growing number of farmers' markets can also now join the ranks of small-scale pickle and chutney makers.
Home-pickled red cabbage, lemons, or even herrings and home-made piccalilli and salsa - such spiced-up specialities are all the rage and have become the in-vogue accompaniments of the moment. It's easy to understand their attraction - cooks at home know that pickling can add a buzz to almost any food, be it fruit, veg, meat or fish.Here is the complete guide to successful pickling with tried and tested recipes for everything from melons to marrows.
