Out of the Bottle: Easy and Delicious Recipes for Making and Using Your Own Preserves - Softcover

The author of the bestselling SLOW COOKER and A YEAR IN A BOTTLE shows you how to incorporate homemade preserves into a range of recipes, turning what would have been a nice meal into a truly sublime one! Sally Wise has been a passionate preserver of fruits and vegetables for over three decades. Easy to make, nutritious and additive-free, preserves are sensational as stand-alone products - but that is just the beginning of their potential. A jam can be far more than an accompaniment to scones and cream, and a pickle is far more than a mere friend to meats or cheese. A simple dish can be turned into something sublime by the addition of a spoonful or two of home-preserved product - and that is why Sally's pantry shelves are lined with dozens of bottles of preserves each year, a veritable storehouse and toolbox from which to create amazing dishes. OUt OF tHE BOttLE contains tips and basic methods for the novice home preserver, as well as a collection of Sally's favourite preserving recipes and the dishes in which they play an integral part. From stir-fries to roasts, curries, vegetable dishes and savoury tarts; from delicious Mini Cherry Mud Cakes to Hummingbird Muffins, Sally's recipes have been developed over a lifetime of experimentation. they range from comfort food to contemporary dishes, and always focus on flavour, quick and easy preparation and natural ingredients. Never again will you reach for a bottle of pasta sauce - not when your own tomato relish will have friends and family demanding to know what your secret ingredient is, and keep them coming back for more!

Sally Wise is the bestselling author of Slow Cooker, Ultimate Slow Cooker and many other cookbooks which feature delicious preserves and everyday cooking. A regular guest on ABC radio, she runs the Sally Wise Cooking School in the picturesque Derwent Valley in Tasmania.
