Making your own jams and preserves allows you to be truly creative in the kitchen so why limit yourself to bland shop-bought products when you can impress your friends and family with Strawberry and Rose Petal Jam, Fiery Tomato Ketchup or Basil Vodka? Split into the four seasons, Jam, Jelly & Relish encourages you to make the most of fruit and vegetables throughout the year when they are at their best by storing away the bottles and jars for the later months. Each season is packed with mouthwatering recipes, which are accompanied by simple ideas for how to use your jams, jellies and preserves in innovative and delicious ways. For example, why not turn your Scottish Raspberry Jam into Cheat's Raspberry Ice Cream? With Ghillie's expert advice and over 110 delicious recipes to choose from, you'll have a cupboard full of convenience foods, perfect for perking up last-minute suppers or transforming dinner party dishes.

Review
Ghillie James's user-friendly guide to preserving summer fruits and veg contains inspiring recipes. Learn how to make everything from jam to drinks, ice-creams, chutneys, pickles and cakes. --Weekend (Daily Mail)
(Life s too short to make jam...) But Ghillie James thinks she can change our minds. And, indeed, flicking through her book Jam, Jelly and Relish on the train to her home in Hampshire, things look promising. Are there any more reassuring words, in the context of a kitchen manual, than that reviving pair 'don t panic'? James uses them a lot, combining a Delia Smith-esque voice of calm with a refreshingly modern outlook. --The Independent
This time of year can bring a glut of favourite fruit and veg in the garden, providing the perfect opportunity to transform your produce into chutneys, jams and preserves. Armed with Ghillie's book, you'll have lots of simple recipes to hand, plus inspiration for new ways to use your jars of homemade deliciousness. --Sainsbury's Magazine

Ghillie James says this this beautifully photographed and produced book is aimed at novices, but there is plenty in here for the experienced cook as well. Interspersed with comments about where the recipes came from and who inspired her, the book has a confident, breezy style. How do you make a whole book about preserves come alive? - Well, there are recipes for temptingly alcoholic drinks, imaginative suggestions about uses for the jellies and relishes and plenty of hints about avoiding pitfalls. She also dispels the myth that you need a mass of expensive and bulky equipment.

Not only does this book Look quite beautiful, it would grace any coffee table, the recipes inside Taste delicious. Have just made the orange spiked strawberry jam- its in a league of its own, quite the best jam I have ever made.Now for the Muddled berry jam and then the Ice cream! The perfect gift for any cooking enthusiast, whatever their age.

For anyone who has a garden this is a must for the kitchen. I particularly like the beetroot suggestions ! As Ghillie James says ,so many gardeners grow ENORMOUS amounts of beetroot. I am now hoping my gardening husband will be spurred into making chutney too! I intend giving this book to all my 3 daughters.I just know they will love it.
