Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The delightfully old-fashioned art of "putting up" needn't mean crates of fruit, interminable water baths, and a sweltering kitchen. The 130 delicious recipes in this book — including Cherry Preserves with Cassis, Apple-Ginger Jam, Cinnamon-Citrus Marmalade with Apricots, Ratatouille Marmalade, and Kir Cocktail Jelly — are made with small quantities of fruit and standard kitchen equipment. Prepared without commercial pectin, the preserves are lower in sugar than most, allowing the full flavor of the fruit to shine through — and some are made with no refined sugar at all. As a tasty bonus, the book gives recipes for quick breads and muffins that are perfect complements for the jams and jellies, as well as for desserts that make delectable use of those homemade preserves. Author and preserves aficionado Madelaine Bullwinkel offers reassuring professional advice, how-to illustrations, and timesaving techniques that make the process surprisingly simple. Expert tips for solving common preserve-making problems, such as jellies that refuse to firm up, as well as a seasonal guide to fruits and veggies are also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Preserves How To" for Your Kitchen Reference Shelf, June 22, 2006
By GMB (Dundee, MI United States) - See all my reviews
Preserving small quantities was the reason for my purchasing this book and the reasonable price. Color photos would just increase the cost of this book, and for me I can do without. Even though I have experience in preserving, I found the Introduction and the 1st 2 chapters very informative. The preserving recipes that are included are fun and the fruit combinations are new to me. Cutting down on sugar is an added bonus. I do enjoy the dessert recipes and Chez M's recipe for Creme Fraiche always works for me. The seasonal guide at the end of the book is so worthwhile. I also appreciate Ms. Bullwinkel giving her web address for questions. It is a book that I will keep close to my kettle.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book!, October 25, 2005
By Linda G. (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
this is a great book, the recipes make preserves easy. Also, i like that it is small batches, the blueberry mint is the best so far. The introduction has really clear instructions about making jams & preserves in general.
Pick it up!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly "gourmet", August 6, 2005
By Icicle (Vermont) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book in hopes of more exciting flavor combinations, but was disappointed in that regard. The upside, however, is that the majority of the recipes do not use commercial pectin. Still, with the words 'elegant' and 'gourmet' featured prominently in the title, I expected more from this book than the rather predicable combinations. I would consider this a basic jam and jelly book.
