Gourmet Preserves Chez Madelaine

Gourmet Preserves Chez Madelaine teaches home cooks traditional fruit preservation techniques through easy DIY recipes for jams, jellies, and marmalades. The book contains over one hundred recipes for preserves and forty recipes for desserts, including muffins, scones, crepes, puddings, pastries, and breakfast treats designed to use with the preserves. Most recipes avoid commercial pectin, allowing for reduced sugar or no sugar in some cases. Author Madelaine Bullwinkel, a French cooking instructor with over thirty-five years of teaching experience at her home-cooking school Chez Madelaine and across the US and France, presents her methods through thorough instruction, how-to illustrations, and time-saving techniques that simplify the canning and preserving process.
