The Modern Preserver

Preserving is an ancient technique which speaks to a modern sensibility. It puts you in step with the seasons, you can use up leftovers, and you control what goes into your food. With over 130 recipes, this book takes you through every aspect of preserving: from classic chutneys and jams, through pickles and fermentation, to cordials and compotes. It weds age-old methods with a contemporary feel. There are fresh flavours like Raspberry and Rose Jam, and Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup, and ideas from across the world like Kimchi and Japanese Pickled Ginger.

Kylee Newton is a passionate self-taught preserver with stalls at London’s Broadway, Maltby Street and Peckham markets under the name Newton & Pott. Here she includes both simple recipes and immersive projects, and her recipes make stylish gifts and reassuringly natural homemade treats.
