Jams, Jellies & More by Carol W. Costenbader

I found this (and other) Storey Country Widsom Bulletins at a bookstore in Troy and was immediately drawn to them. Short and concise, these books are jam-packed with a whole bunch of folk skills that anybody would be better of knowing.

This booklet has a lot of jam recipes as well as points on how to preserve what you make. I like how the recipes aren't heavy on using commercial pectin. It also has tips on what types of fruits are naturally high in acid/pectin and which aren't.

I can't wait show more to try out some of these recipes once fresh berries are in season and our farmer's markets are open again! show less

The Big Book of Preserving the Harvest: 150 Recipes for Freezing, Canning, Drying and Pickling Fruits and Vegetables by Carol W. Costenbader

A wonderful "have on hand" book for those who like to preserve their fixings from the farmer's market, the garden, or even from the store in various ways. Covering more than just canning, Preserving the Harvest offers a lot of useful suggestions and tips in preservation.
