Preserving and Pickling
The HOPE Box scheme produces lots of fresh vegetables in season and sometimes you can have too much of a good thing and not necessarily want to eat it all at the same time. Preserving and pickling are age-old methods of saving much of the fresh produce for later and can produce delicious results of their own.
