Covers the Jam/Jelly Basics . . . and tasty too

For the "tips & tricks" section alone I think this book is worth it for a novice. Though the book is also nice if you want a book that has a bunch of basic recipes. The photographs will make your mouth water and the instructions will make you feel that you can handle doing this. Each recipe is for "small batches" usually involving 3-4 cups of fruit. Each recipe I've tried has turned out delicious (about 8 so far.) I do wish there was an index, however the table of contents does list each recipe.

delightful book

This is a delightful book. It's beautiful to look through and very inspiring. There are a variety of recipes including ones combining different fruits to make jams, jellies, or preserves. Although some of the recipes aren't as precise as I'd like, I love experimenting with recipes and making then my own. You can hardly go wrong with fruit and sugar!
