Gourmet Preserves Chez Madelaine

"The old-fashioned art of "putting food by" has turned into one of America's favorite contemporary cooking hobbies - making your own gourmet jams and jellies." "The full flavor of fruit picked at the peak of freshness shines through in more than 110 delicious recipes for preserves. Most of the recipes avoid using commercial pectin, which means you can use less sugar, or, in some cases, none at all." Madelaine Bullwinkel offers over 150 foolproof recipes from her home-based cooking school, Chez Madelaine, now in its 28th year. Her thorough teaching style, how-to illustrations, and timesaving techniques make the process surprisingly simple.
