If you're looking to buy one book on jams and chutneys - this is it. It has every recipe you will ever need - I've already made the strawberry jam, raspberry curd, onion marmalade, rose wine jelly, tomato ketchup, Hoi sin sauce, limoncello, sweet dipping sauce, elderflower cordial and bread and butter chutney... and I've still 140 recipes to go! Best of all it's full of beautifully shot pictures to inspire you and every recipe tells you how long it will take, how much it will make and how long it will last. Plus, it's spilt into 9 ingredients chapters - Summer berries, Stone fruit, Summer vegetables, Orchard fruit, Flowers and herbs, Wild harvest, Tropical Fruit, Chillies and Spices, Winter Citrus - which makes it really easy to use and has a chapter on techniques at the beginning which tells you everything you need to know about preserving - from choosing your fruit to sterilizing your jars - with detailed step-by-step photographs and a consice, no-nonsence approach. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this is one book that will forever be hanging around your kitchen - getting sticky - so make sure you buy yourself 2 copies, 1 for display and 1 to put to good use!

September is the traditional time for dealing with summer's glut in preparation for winter's leaner months. As Thane Prince in Jams & Chutneys - Preserving the Harvest points out, it wasn't so long ago that "preserving nature's bounty was a necessity rather than an indulgence" so every prudent housewife (and I use the description advisedly) would beaver away bottling, pickling, making jam and so on.
Even if your need to preserve has died away and your "consumption lags far behind production levels" Thane wants you to keep at it. She believes preserving is "a truly life-enhancing experience" and although this may sound a little OTT, I can vouch for that. For years I made marmalade with my friend Michele. Never ate the stuff but adored the companionship of my marmalade day and then there was the added bonus of gleaming jars on the kitchen shelf, an endless supply of give-aways
Jams & Chutneys is a charming and useful book, full of sparklingly original recipes, classics and their variations, stylish photographs, hints and helpful tips. Interestingly Thane does not belong to the poor-quality-is-good-enough-for-preserving school. Certainly not - only the freshest and best will do as what you get out is only as good as what you put in. How sensible also to advise us to ask ourselves before we embark on a preserving project whether it is truly worth it. After all making a dozen pots of carrot & cardamom jam is some undertaking, a commitment that's far more labour intensive than dashing off , say, a new chicken recipe. If the latter doesn't appeal, it can easily be disposed of - both literally and figuratively.
Everyone will be charmed by Pears in White Wine with Lemongrass or an unctuous Spiced Pumpkin Butter and with apples coming into season now, who can resist Apple, Plum & Onion Relish. I have one - albeit minor - gripe that as the original CherryAider, I must air. Thane classes the cherry as a summer berry and rather than a stone fruit where it rightfully sits. A small detail but irksome particularly when she has a reputation for thoroughness and accuracy.

Having obtained an allotment last year, our first full summer has yielded a huge crop of raspberries, strawberries, courgettes and more. In desperation I decided it was time to learn how to make jams, chutneys and fruit vinegar. I helped mum make jam as a child but to be honest i had no real idea where to start. There are a lot of different books in the market, but this one seemed to have a wide range of recipes - and it hasn't disappointed.
Beautifully illustrated with colour photos, this book takes you through the basics of preserving with introductory sections on equipment and techniques such as 'testing for a set'. The book is divided into sections according to type of produce (i.e. stone fruits like plums and summer perries), and each of these has a full colour spread with notes on successfully preserving each member of the category. In addition, as well as fruity jams and an array of chutney recipes, there are also details on how to make berry and herb vinegars. I've already used this book several times, making blackcurrant and jumbleberry jam (the latter is delicious and a great way to use up odd amounts of berries) and raspberry vinegar. I will definitely be keeping this book in a safe place and expect that it will become an old faithful over the years. Well worth the money, this book is perfect for beginners or for the more experienced looking for some interesting new preserves to try.
