6 Jam-Packed Pickling and Preserving Cookbooks

Tart and Sweet by Kelly Geary and Jessie Knadler

Tart and Sweet is packed with fun and tasty preserving recipes that fall within two categories: basic and exotic. The basic can be classified as kumquat marmalades, strawberry orange compote, and raspberry jam.  Alternatively, you can expand your preserving horizons with recipes like pickled fiddleheads,  basil chili eggplant, and raisin-hater's apple chutney.  In addition, the cookbook is organized by seasons to emphasize that preserving is a year-round activity.
