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. Home preserving is Marguerite's most natural culinary territory and she starts by explaining the equipment and the basic techniques, as well as what to do if things go wrong. 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.

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'.

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.

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!

A classic
This is an excellent book to have on the kitchen bookshelf. I wouldn't be without it and it's so good to be able to look up almost any pickle or preserve and find it there.

Jamming
Bob Marley loves this book, as it has Jam in! That joke has been preserved since Peter Kay used it and it still has chunks of appeal in it, like a fine Chutney!
