Preserves by Pam Corbin (River Cottage Handbook No 2)

This book is an authoritative, colourfully illustrated and easy to read practical guide to preserving fruit, vegetables and herbs for use all the year round. The author Pam Corbin started the artisan jam making company Thursday Cottage Preserves and is also an active member of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage teaching team and in this book she very generously shares her expertise built on more than 25 years of practical experience. There are 5 comprehensive chapters focused on:

• Jams & Jellies
• Pickles, Chutneys & Relishes
• Cordials, Fruit Liqueurs & Vinegars
• Bottled Fruits
• Sauces, Ketchups & Oil-based Preserves

Preserves is essential reading for the enthusiastic and discerning kitchen gardener and is especially relevant for customers who own a Mehu Liisa Fruit Steamer or the Stainless Steel or Enamel Pasteuriser. It would make a most welcome and inspiring gift.
