About the dish

The recipe is in the chapter on preserved vegetables in the 1949 edition and is brief: time and temperature are what matter.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Clean and parboil

    Clean the leeks well and cut off the outer leaves and the roots. Parboil in water for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cool and fill

    Cool the leeks and pack them into jars.

  3. 3

    Sterilise

    Sterilise at 100 °C (210 °F) for 40 minutes, then again at 100 °C (210 °F) for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Note

    Note: Leeks are low in acid, and heating at 100 °C (210 °F) is not enough to make them safe to keep. Today's advice is to freeze them or can them under pressure.
