A bounty of recipes for homemade preserves that are good for you, from smoked and spiced pickles with gut-friendly attributes or energizing drinks such as oak-aged blackberry kombucha to healing gourmet treats such as homemade miso or wild garlic oil. Organised in chapters focusing around infusing, fermenting, pickling and drying, Rachel's recipes use everyday ingredients in ingenious ways to create treats for any occassion.
The act of making edible gifts for others is just as rewarding as receiving them, especially when you keep a store of jars for yourself to to savour as the seasons come and go. Treat both those around you and yourself to the bounty of a modern larder full of delicious offerings.
