Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Pickling: 250 Recipes from Pickles and Relishes to Chutneys and Salsas

Book Review: MacKenzie Covers a Wide-Range of Pickling
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of The Complete Book of Pickling: 250 Recipes from Pickles and Relishes to Chutneys and Salsas

Capturing garden vegetables at their best for year-round enjoyment.

Pickling is one of the oldest and most inexpensive methods of preserving foods. Families would gather over mounds of vegetables and huge steaming pots, producing savory and delicious pickles and chutneys. Home pickling is now enjoying a resurgence, as the cost of food and the desire to know where and how foods are prepared increases.

These wonderfully inventive recipes feature modern methods and equipment in accordance with the latest food-safety standards. The book also includes classic and unusual international ingredients. Newcomers to the art will find step-by-step techniques and details of specific equipment needs.

Enjoy wonderful foods year round with recipes such as:

  • Kosher dill pickles
  • Aunt Thelma's bread and butter pickles
  • Pretty beet and radish pickles
  • Gingery cantaloupe pickles
  • White balsamic and pepper pickled strawberries
  • Clementine pear chutney
  • Pineapple lime tomato salsa
  • Smoky three-pepper cucumber relish.
  • The author specifies manageable sizes for average households, and there are serving suggestions and quick recipes for dishes that use the preserves for top flavors.
