The author creates an enticing selection of more than 200 recipes, everything from aromatic oils, pickled vegetables, chutneys, fruits and jellies to spices and flavoured sugars - the possibilities are endless. She also teaches the secrets of careful preparation, sterilization and presentation, and shows how to decorate bottles as gifts.

From Booklist:
This beautifully illustrated guide to preserving jams and relishes, flavored wines, and vinegars and oils also covers the basics of sterilizing, sealing, and storing containers. A recipe for marmalade, for instance, is depicted through step-by-step instructional color photographs showing stages of preparation and cooking. Then eight additional recipes follow--essentially variations on the same theme. A final chapter offers ideas for decorating bottles and jars to be given as gifts. Alice Joyce
