Product Description

Product Description

Marguerite Patten, doyenne of British cookery, shares her wealth of knowledge and her tried and tested recipes for jams, marmalades, jellies, curds, pickles, relishes, chutneys and ketchups.

She covers not only family favourites such as picalilli, ginger marmalade and rose petal jam but also more unusual classics from around the world, such as quince cheese and hot pepper jelly.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is., 5 Feb 2005
This review is from: The Basic Basics Jams, Preserves and Chutneys (Paperback)
Un-illustrated(for the majority of the book), however, it is, eloquently what it claims to be. And Marguerite, as usual, doesn't fail to complete her task. With literally hundreds of recipes and variations included in this book, it is a handbook, and all the basics are covered for making jams, marmalades, chutneys, pickles and much more.
'Golden Rules' for success are included, hints and tips and guides to equipment, ingredients and techniques. Ideal for the beginner to steer to accomplishment, and great as an idea book for the more advanced 'preserver'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and easy to follow for the absolute beginner., 27 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Basic Basics Jams, Preserves and Chutneys (Paperback)
Once again Marguerite has come forth with a practical guide to home preserving. Good traditional recipes with clear instructions. It also gives one the confidence to strike forth and make recipes of your own.

This is certainly worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Guide, 20 July 2004
This review is from: The Basic Basics Jams, Preserves and Chutneys (Paperback)
There is nothing more satisfying than making your own jam! It's a quicker process than you might imagine and the results are well worth the effort. When you use this book you feel that the author is with you in the kitchen, guiding your jam stirring arm, and reassuring you with her clearly written instructions.

I highly recommend it (and the pleasures of jam making) to you!
