This review is from: Well Preserved: Pickles, Relishes, Jams, and Chutney's for the New Cook (Paperback)
I've been jammin' for about 5 years now, and when I looked at this book, I was re-energized. The recipes are easy to follow, there are quite a few new combinations that I have really been enjoying. But the thing I liked the most about this book was her explanations of the different types of recipes, the phraseology, (you feel like you're in a one on one conversation) the things that make a marmalade a marmalade, as opposed to a jam, She gives you a "heads up" on what can go wrong and what to look out for. After reading this book you're left with a general overall feeling of confidence, that "yeah, I can make that!"
The antipasto pickles turned out not only tasy, but pretty as well. And doesn't Butterscotch Peach Jam just sound wonderful? Next on my list is the Carrot and Coconut Curry.
This is a must have for any beginning jammer, and experienced ones as well.
