Become self-sufficient all year round with this handy guide to storing your garden produce.

There is a huge sense of satisfaction in being 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.

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, cheese, jams and jellies.

The book also 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. With this helpful book, you'll know where your food has come from, save money, avoid packaging and eat home-grown food.

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