A wonderful collection of recipes for preserves of all kinds, including ideas on how to eat them and recipes for cooking with them. Mostly about jam, but interspersed with anecdotes, literary quotations, a little bit of history and the odd folk remedy thrown in for good measure, this beautiful book is good to look at, entertaining to read and practical to follow. The first chapter deals with equipment and techniques, and the rest of the book is organised into chapters which are guaranteed to inspire the reader: Luscious, Juicy, Crunchy, Tangy, Tropical, Wholesome, Aromatic, Wild, Intoxicating and Daily Bread. The recipes cover jams, marmalades, curds, chutneys, ketchup, jellies, pesto and pastes, flavoured oils, cordials, flavoured vodkas and breads. With over 100 recipes, beautiful photographs and fascinating anecdotes, this is a book to treasure.
