Ladies, A Plate - Jams and Preserves

Author(s): Alexa Johnston

Preserving

If you have ever been disheartened by a batch of jam that just won't set, or intimidated by the thought of bottling fruit - this is the book for you. In the latest of her Ladies, a Plate series of best-selling cookbooks, Alexa Johnston removes all fear and trepidation from the processes of making jams, jellies, pickles, chutneys and sauces - and even fruit cordials and liqueurs - and bottling fruit. With over 100 traditional and contemporary preserves Ladies, a Plate: Jams Preserves celebrates the pleasures and rewards of a time-honoured branch of cookery. It is a must for every cook and every kitchen.
