Savory Jams is a great guide for beginners and a hardworking shelf reference for veteran jam makers.
From preserving expert Linda Ziedrich, Savory Jams offers dozens of recipes for casual DIY enthusiasts who want easy-to-make refrigerator or freezer jams as well as processed recipes for dedicated canners. The book's 75 recipes range from vegetable-centered, such as Tomato-Dill Jelly and Onion-Raisin Jam, to recipes that combine fruits with savoury spices and flavours, such as Kiwi Jam with Chile and Lime and Extra-Spicy Apple Butter.
The recipes range from homey and comforting - a traditional Sage Jelly, for example, or a punchy Horseradish Jelly - to innovative and exciting, such as Corncob Jelly with Marigolds or Asian Pear Chutney.
Throughout the book, Linda offers authoritative information on subjects that range from how to adjust pectin quantities, to canning safety, to ingredient substitutions that can be made to accommodate seasonal and regional variations in what is fresh and at hand.
