Preserving is an ancient technique that speaks to a modern sensibility.

It puts you in step with the seasons, uses up leftover fruits and vegetables, and gives you complete control over what goes into your food.

In The Modern Preserver, Kylee Newton takes you through every aspect of preserving: from classic jams and jellies, to pickles and fermentation, and to chutneys, cordials, and compotes. Newton's easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions wed age-old methods with a contemporary flavor.

• Rhubarb & Prosecco Jelly 
• Spicy Bourbon Pickles
