INCLUDES COMPLETE DETAILED PRESERVING TECHNIQUES FOR EASY 
STEP-BY-STEP HOME CANNING

Pickels

Citrus

Sweet pickles

Classic Icicle Pickles

There’s a debate on whether the name of these pickles comes from their icicle shape, the cooling effect of the vinegar on the palate or the fact that the cucumbers are layered with ice to make them crisp. Regardless, these pickles are a classic to be enjoyed.

Preserved Lemons

Chef Neil Baxter of Rundles Cooking Classes in Stratford, Ontario, first introduced me to the delightful flavor of preserved lemons. They complement Moroccan foods in a way that just can’t be matched by any other ingredient.

Aunt Thelma’s Bread-and-Butter Pickles

This is the pickle that got me hooked on eating and eventually making pickles. It wasn’t until I’d been making them for years that I discovered Thelma wasn’t really my aunt but a distant relation by marriage. I also discovered that this is a pretty classic recipe, but I’d like to thank the late Aunt Thelma nonetheless for introducing our family to it.

250 RECIPES FROM PICKLES & RELISHES TO CHUTNEYS & SALSAS

Chutney

Salsa

Gherkins

Classic Peach Chutney

Capture fragrant, juicy peaches at the height of their season in this chutney, which is fruity with a touch of spice. Puréeing some of the peaches gives you a chunky chutney with a touch 
of jamminess.

Classic Tomato Sauce

Just as the title says, this sauce is lightly seasoned with classic flavors that really highlight the vine-ripened beauty of freshly harvested tomatoes.

Tangy French Cornichons

These tiny, tangy pickles beg for a charcuterie platter with pâté, fine cheeses and Dijon mustard.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Home economist MacKenzie (The Dehydrator Bible, Complete Curry Cookbook) gives kitchen canners plenty of reasons to get their water boiling in this terrific collection of 250 pickles, sauces, chutneys and relishes. After a thorough explanation of canning techniques, MacKenzie rolls up her sleeves and gets to work with seven variations on dill. In addition to popular pickling candidates like cauliflower, carrots and garlic, MacKenzie shows readers how the technique can be applied to sweet foods like cherries, peaches and pineapple, as well as the ultimate DIY for the avid pickler, canner or drinker: martini olives (brine-cured green olives married with gin and dry vermouth). Even readers without an appreciation for the tang of a good pickle will appreciate MacKenzie's 50 chutneys, including variations such as Sangria Citrus, classic cranberry and peach, pineapple ginger and spiced tomato; six chili sauces; 18 salsas; and home-made ketchup. If the prospect of keeping five pints of taco sauce on hand is intimidating, MacKenzie at least offers preserving methods for all the recipes, as well as suggestions for complementary dishes.

Worth checking out. ― Family Circle Published On: 2009-10-17

Jennifer MacKenzie dishes up contemporary takes on stand-bys -- from pickles to chutney -- with helpful, practical tips for busy cooks. -- Jennifer Olivera ―
Chicago Sun-Times Published On: 2009-07-22

Perfect for those of you who like to pucker. Packed with classic pickle recipes, as well as clever twists on them (Bread-and-Butter Pickles with Onion and Red Pepper), this book is put out by the folks who also published in 2006 the fine Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving by Judi Kingry and Lauren Devine. Pickling gives the usual tips on safety, equipment and how-twos but homes in on giving a kick to garden veggies. Pickle everything from fiddleheads to garlic scapes with this book; put up salsa and barbecue sauces, too. Done particularly well: Tips and serving suggestions that come with each recipe. -- Margi Shrum ―

Appeal-Democrat (Sacramento) Published On: 2009-10-23

Mouth-watering color photography, and easy to follow recipes plus tips and variations in the margins of the pages. I think these books will become favorite go-to books for those who want to learn about preserving food, and those who already know how, but want more ideas. Get them now and soon, you'll always have a little something to bring a hostess or brighten up a meal. ―

I have been canning since I was 10 years old in my mother’s kitchen (I am now 67, so that’s 57 years), and I needed some inspiration; this book provided that. Some of our family’s favorite recipes are Grilled Tomatillo and Jalapeño Salsa, Tomatillo and Lime Salsa Verde, Roasted Poblano Tomato Salsa, Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce, Vodka and Rosemary Tomato Sauce, Fire and Ice Pickles, and Mexican Pickled Jalapeño Peppers. In my opinion, the salsas and tomato sauces from this book are better than anything you could purchase from a grocery store. What I also like about this book is the wide variety of recipes. For example, one year I had an excess of tomatoes, so I made ketchup and barbecue sauce. One year I made Sweet Pickled Onion Rings which are delicious on tacos or hamburgers. I still have many more recipes to try, like the chutneys, and I look forward to it. I highly recommend this canning book

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010
I initially checked this book out from my local library, but was so immediately pleased with the results of several recipes that I had to get my own copy. The recipes are printed large enough to be read easily and all steps are explained fully. There are some absolutely beautiful pictures, but if I have any gripe at all, it's that I'd rather see each picture next to the corresponding recipe, rather than having the pictures grouped in clusters in various sections throughout the book.

I pickled a number of vegetables this past fall using this book for guidance. Among them were onions, radishes and beets. I also tried a couple of the chutney recipes and was pleased with the outcomes. So far, there hasn't been a single recipe that I wouldn't consider using again. Aside from another chutney recipe that I plan to try soon, I can't wait until summer/fall harvests to try some others. I certainly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys all types of pickling.

For 40 years I have used the ball blue book for all my canning and that's the first one a person should get.
However this book takes it to another leval with a lot of great recipes and I recommend it as a complement to the blue book. Everything I tried in it has turned out good.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016
This is such a great book for learning how to make many different, flavorful pickles, chutneys, salsas, and other flavor-packed recipes. Some cook book authors have an uncanny ability to over-complicate the technique, which can leave the reader feeling intimidated and confused. Jennifer MacKenzie has written this book in such a way that anyone can learn this old-age art form. Another thing I really like about the book is that not only does she provide weight measurements (e.g. 5 lbs.) in her ingredient lists, but also volume measurements (e.g. 4 quarts or 2 cups). This is extremely helpful. A must buy for pickling novices and masters.
