More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Preserving is not just about jam and marmalade. Although there are plenty of recipes for both, the Women's Institute Book of Preserves is full of modern ideas for making the most of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Traditional recipes such as Blackberry jam, Spiced tomato chutney and Rumtopf are sure to be as popular as always, while Parsley jelly, Mango Curd and Chilli Jam, Roasted Pepper Relish and Marinated Goat's Cheese bring preserving right up to date. Easier to make than you might imagine, preserves are a perfect way to use up wonderful seasonal produce. Made from fresh ingredients with no chemical additives, there is nothing better than home-made preserves at any time of year.

I bought this book as a preserving novice along with the WI's Best Kept Secrets jams, pickles and chutneys by Midge Thomas. I prefer the latter but there are some fab recipes in this book especially the Spiced Dried Apricot jam which is sensational. The first chapter covers all you need to know about preserving including sterilising jars, setting points, equipment etc. the following chapters cover jams and conserves, jellies, marmalades (pink grapefruit and lemon is highly recommended), curds and cheeses, chutneys and relishes, pickles, compotes, candies and dried fruit, sauces and spreads and oils, vinegars and alcohol. Plently to keep you busy and a wide range of ingredients used so you'll find a suitable recipe whatever the season.

Seriously - where else would you expect to learn about jam making? The WI, sometimes regarded with wry amusement and dismissed as jam and Jerusalem, does tremendous work for communities. But even if they were nothing but jam they would still have the right to shout their existence with triumph. BECAUSE JAM IS IMPORTANT, DAMN IT! This is a superb book. Quite the best I've ever found on the subject. Easy to use, uncomplicated and inspirational.

I was sure I could rely on the W.I. and I was not disappointed. This book was nicely written with clear no nonsense recipes,and so easy to make. The strawberry jam in particular was the quickest that I have ever made. I will be doing another batch of preserves tomorrow, love it .Mary (ex W.I member)
