Preserves & Conserves

What could be more gratifying than harvesting surplus fruit and vegetables and creating your own preserves? We have all grown so accustomed to buying jam, marmalade or leading brands of chutney, that we have forgotten how very simple it is to make them at home. When the fruits or vegetables are in peak season, get out your very largest pan, sterilise some jars and see just how easy - and tasty - it is. Whether as gifts or just to enhance meals all year round, the jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys, pickles, relishes, cordials and sauces in this enchantingly photographed book will become a staple in every kitchen.
