Product Description
Book Description
The book that Nigella Lawson turns to for jam recipes - the classic book of jam, preserve and chutney recipes, revised and updated featuring a foreword by Rose Prince.
Product Description
First published in 1970, Beryl Wood's classic Let's Preserve It is the ultimate preserving bible. In this small encyclopaedia, Wood distils the immense knowledge of earlier generations into a jarful of simple, foolproof recipes that will give endless delight both to make and to savour.
With guidelines on equipment and preparation, useful hints on cooking and important tips to remember, this A-Z of recipes is an essential book for everyone from the experienced jam-maker to new cooks making preserves for the first time. Classic recipes such as mint jelly, lemon curd and Seville orange marmalade are all here, as well as more unusual combinations and ideas for preserving fruits, herbs and vegetables.
This unique and comprehensive recipe book revives the art of making jams, jellies, pickles and chutneys, and celebrates the joys of transforming a surfeit of anything - from apples to whortleberries - into jars full of sweetness.

Format:Hardcover
This is the classic British text on jams, jellies, chutneys, cheeses etc. Arranged alphabetically by main ingredient, very simple, very good on technique. My mother used it through the 70s and 80s, then handed on her very battered copy to me - it's now held together with a rubber band, but still going strong. Basically, any fruit or vegetable you want to preserve will be in there, and once you've mastered the basics, the sky's the limit. I'm so glad this has been republished because my copy's going to disintegrate soon.

I also have a copy from 1972 and treasure it: superb receipes - it took me 20 years to find another copy (I have two daughters..)nigh impossible to find on the 2nd hand book circuit and have to confess that I have also scanned it and distributed to dear friends..... To-day I had a mail from one saying that Nigella Lawson during her Christmas Cookery Show last night was "raving about it" so may we hope that some publisher took note and said "let's preserve it"... The original publisher no longer exists and their archives are held in some University/Foundation. An absolute gem so will someone please reprint....

Wonderful, short, informative recipes. An enormous variety that gives the creative cook inspirations and ideas, as well as some basic rules, so that you can vary and play on the basic concepts with relative ease. I love the alphabetical organisation because, in my kitchen, it is never "hmmm lets make something fancy with lime and chilli in it today", it is more like "good lord what will I ever do with all these aubergines"...quick flip to the A section, and there are more ideas than I have aubergines. Just what i needed!

Totally Invaluable
My copy (vintage 1972) is so old and 'well-thumbed' that it is falling to bits.
Would someone, please, re-publish
