In this category, you will find recipes for pickles and preserves. {{Ideas and inspiration}}

I do hope this section grows because with the advent of freezers, preserving is not needed on the same scale it used to be; however, some products like [[preserved lemons]], [[pickled onions]], [[dill pickles]] and chutneys, to name but a few, are about taste and flavour, not preservation. As with [[dips and sauces]], the added benefit of making rather than buying is that you can add your favourite ingredients so the end product is exactly to your taste.
