THE JOY OF JAMS, JELLIES, AND OTHER SWEET PRESERVES

This comprehensive guide to the craft of making sweet preserves includes 225 recipes for jams, jellies, marmalades, conserves, syrups, pastes, and more. All the recipes are based on traditional methods; none call for packaged pectin. The book is organized alphabetically by type of fruit, with an introduction to each about its history, cultivars, and growing and harvesting requirements. With its attention not only to common fruits but to others that never appear in supermarkets, The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves has proven an essential resource for gardeners and U-pick and farmers’-market shoppers.
