Just about all fruit and vegetables can be transformed into gorgeously gleaming jars full of flavour – jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys and pickles. Once you start, you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to recreate all your favourite tastes and enhance your meals. Once you get the hang of creating preserves, why not invent your own combinations and flavours? Preserves also keep extremely well, so your efforts will be well rewarded. There are also inspired ideas for creating cordials and liqueurs, as well as butters and curds.
