Sounds interesting, any good?
I've never made any of the recipes, but it is (IMO) a wonderful WW2 How To book just for browsing . Vintage copies are available on ABE/Amazon for less than a tenner & there appears to be a paperback reprint too. It includes recipes for things such as radish pods and elderberry shoots and has cheery illustrations:

I have made various versions of dessert bottled pears, usually called things like Mulled Pears - cooked in red wine, sugar and spices.
But top favourite is definitely pickled pears, as suggested here, using vinegar, sugar and pickling spices. They are just great with strong cheeses or cold meat.

I like this sort of bottled pears. I'd love to try this if I had a pear tree.
