Preserving the Taste, 1st Edition

A guide to creating sixty-three homemade jams, jellies, preserves, and pickles features recipes for Apple Butter, Plum Jam, Peach Preserves, Fig Jam with Candied Lemon Zest, Pomegranate Jelly, and Apricots Packed in Orange Honey Syrup. 25,000 first printing. $25,000 ad/promo.

Waycott's homemade jams and preserves proved so popular that she nows sells them to restaurants and specialty shops throughout Southern California. Her hallmark is intense flavor, whether in Fig Jam with Candied Lemon Zest or Caramelized Apple Marmalade with Thyme. Here she presents some 60 simple recipes for jams and jellies, fruit butters, pickles, salsa, and flavored vinegars. Jeanne Lesem's excellent Preserving Today ( LJ 2/15/92) is far more ambitious and includes many more recipes, but Waycott's book has its own charm. Recommended for area libraries and other larger collections.
