There is nothing more delicious than spreading your own homemade jam onto a hot slice of buttered toast, and nothing more satisfying than presenting someone with a jar of something you have made with your fair hand. Whether you want to do away with supermarket preservatives or try your hand at making thoughtful and elegant gifts for friends and family, this is the book for you. Make Your Own: Jams, Chutneys and Pickles contains a wide range of easily navigable recipes, from rhubarb and apple jam to tomato and apple chutney, that will take you back to the good old days of traditional home-made fare.
