A Year in a Bottle: How to make your own delicious preserves all year round

Sally Wise

ABC Books, $24.95

Sally Wise describes preserving as "capturing a season in a bottle''. A presenter on ABC radio in Hobart, Wise's segment on jams and preserves is popular with listeners and no doubt provided inspiration for many of the recipes in this book. Wise includes recipes for common fruits and vegetables as well as extensive guidelines for making jams, jellies, chutneys, vinegars, relishes, pickles, cordials and sauces and a helpful troubleshooting section. Starting with simple recipes, Wise's sensible and easy-to-follow advice will soon have you adventuring into the world of preserves on your own. -- JUSTINE COSTIGAN
