Review

Preserving in Today's Kitchen is the paperback version of Jeanne Lesem's Preserving Today, which was published in hardcover in 1992. It won a James Beard Foundation award in recognition of Lesem's canning methods, which are creatively suited to today's fast-moving life and smaller households: most of the recipes make one to four cups; some call for using the microwave or a Crock-Pot to streamline the cooking process; and many items can be refrigerated or frozen, bypassing the bother of a hot-water bath. Along with traditional favorites such as strawberry jam, there are recipes for Dried Apricot Jam, Peach Melba Jam With Raspberries, and Cantaloupe Pickles. The Reduced-Fat Tomato Orange Marmalade, Salt-Free Dill Pickles, and Homemade Tomato Paste are as appealing as Lesem's more classic treats.

Review

“Those intimidated by making their own preserves will welcome this helpful guide, which is geared to cooks with busy schedules who enjoy fresh new flavors . . . The 168 recipes encompass the familiar (Strawberry Rhubarb Jam) as well as the exotic (Cactus Pear Marmalade) . . . Unpretentious and modern throughout, the book includes a chapter on microwave dos and don'ts.” ―Fine Cooking
