Real Self Sufficiency - Living Better for Less
How to Store Your Home Grown Produce
This is our sixth book and like the others, passes on our 30 years experience in storing our own home grown produce.
It's not based on theories or traditional methods that nobody has the time or taste for nowadays, it tells you the practical methods that ensure you keep your produce in tip-top condition for out of season eating.

Some of the information may seem basic but we found the skills of storing produce were being lost and many people didn't know them. For example, we found new growers keeping potatoes in plastic bags and wondering why they went rotten.
- Store your produce properly so that it will last for months if not years and feed the family when the garden is bare.
- Discover how easy it is to bottle, dry, freeze and even salt your fruit and vegetables.
- See how to dry, string, and keep onions from one season to the next
- Produce your own home made jams, chutneys, pickles, ketchups and preserves
- Be safe when processing your food at home. Understand and avoid the risk of spoilage
As authors, we don't want to produce expensive 'coffee table' books. We want to write useful manuals for a more self-sufficient life that anybody can afford to buy. Because this book was also published in the United States, we were able to include full colour photographs and diagrams without adding lots to the price.
It's also printed on high-quality glossy paper so if you're using it in the kitchen as we hope you will and spill something on it, you can wipe it clean.

Then each of the preserving techniques is covered in depth, accompanied by a few tempting recipes, to give you some practice.
