Product Description
Product Description
This guide to preserving aims to shrug off the gingham-clad image often associated with jam-making and brings together 250 recipes for preserves of every description. Alongside traditional favourites such as Seville Orange Marmalade there are recipes from all over the world. Each preserve is grouped under each type of fruit of vegetable. Step-by-step instructions and watchpoints combine to make this a guide for the cook.

This book is, as the name plainly states, sensational.
Full of recipes for fruits and vegetables, Jams, Marmalades, Jellies, Chutneys and plenty more. There are drinks, including, among others, Vin d'orange and Apricot Brandy. Pickles, curds, ketchups, fruits in alcohol and the list goes on.

In addition to this wealth, the recipes for the actual preserves are supplemented with serving suggestions, and in many cases a short paragraph on the origin/history or descriptive text of each recipe, and recipes for what to do with the recipes, for example, Glazed spare ribs made with marmalade and Thai Prawn Curry made with the red curry paste recipe.
Furthermore the introduction is full of useful information, including average pectin contents of fruits and testing for pectin, basics of sugars and vinegars, Descriptions of the various types of preserves, a basic equipment and container guides(jars and bottles). Shelf-life details and rudimentary instructions on water-bath processing are also in there.
All of this is well presented and well illustrated, with lots of photographs and will encourage you to make some of the recipes.

This book has the most accesible lists of ingredients I have ever found.everything you need is easy,inexpensive (free in some inatances!) and the recipes are simplicity in themselves to follow.I have borrowed this book from my local library now for three months in a row,I really must get round to buying it for my kitchen shelves.Any person who makes their own pickles,jams etc. will quickly make this a bible
