Preserving in Today's Kitchen

Preserving and pickling the easy modern way: in small quantities for today's small households. Forget about big jars and hours of work on a hot summer's day. Some recipes call for as few as two ingredients; some don't even require cooking. There are also recipes for beverages salsas baked goods and other desserts using jarred foods as ingredients. Special equipment? Nope. The lingo is defined in a glossary a source list suggests where to buy wide-stemmed jar funnels (handy but not necessary) pickling lime (a white powder not fruit) and calorie-reduced pectin.
