One in a 12-volume set of miniature cookbooks! Recipes from the top selling cookbook From Amish and Mennonite Kitchens fill these inexpensive treasures.
The recipes reflect wonderful food, the heritage of loving the soil and respecting honest labor, and tables laden with bounty.
These small impulse items make delightful gifts! A gift envelope available with each miniature cookbook.
An overabundant garden or fruit tree need not be a problem. Instead, either may be an excuse to get out the jars to make jelly. Or a reason to dust off the stockpot to do up some ketchup or sweet pickles. And what better farewell to the garden is there than chow chow!

Excerpt
Apple Butter in the Oven
8 qts. thick applesauce
8 qts. fresh cider
4 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
1. Make 8 quarts of thick applesauce. Place hot applesauce into the oven at 400 degrees.
2. Place cider in large kettle and boil until half has evaporated. Add cider to sauce in the oven. Allow oven door to stand slightly ajar so steam can escape. Stir occasionally.
3. After about 2 hours, add sugar and salt. Mix well. Allow about 2 more hours of cooking time until apple butter is the desired consistency, remembering to stir occasionally. Seal in jars.
"Each fall in the past we boiled apple butter in a large copper kettle, then put it into crocks. I still get hungry for that kind of apple butter. I believe the only way to get that flavor is to boil down the cider. So by experimenting I've come up with this method."

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book..Loved It,
By Brynda E. Porter (Cairo,Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mini Cookbook Collection--Best of Jams: Jellies and Relishes (Miniature Cookbook Collection) (Paperback)
I did find some of the recipes were a bit hard, but all in all, I had fun trying to make them all. I am not very good at it, but I have always wanted to learn what my Grandmother could do. I have since become pretty good at canning and jelly making. The recipes are very accurate ingredient wise, but make sure you read the directions before starting. It can get confusing..but if you read it twice it makes sense. I am in Japan right now, so haven't had a chance to try them all as I need some ingredients I can't get here. Buy this book...your family will love you for it, and it saves money! You no longer have to buy jelly for $3 at the grocery store.
