From the Publisher

STRAWBERRY JAM

A universal favorite, strawberry jam adds marvelous flavor and color to breakfasts, snacks and desserts. While freshly picked, locally grown strawberries produce the best jam, this recipe can be made using supermarket berries or unsweetened frozen berries. If using frozen berries, thaw them in the refrigerator just until they are soft enough to crush. Some ice crystals should remain.

EASY GRAPE JAM

Using seedless grapes to prepare grape jam produces a delicious whole­grape jam and eliminates the steps needed separate skin, pulp and seeds.

ORANGES IN COINTREAU

Spooned over ice cream or cake, this mouthwatering delicacy transforms simple sweets into special desserts. You can also use these orange slices as an edible garnish. Use the leftover syrup to sweeten beverages so nothing in the jar goes to waste.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CONCENTRATE

The sweetness of fresh, ripe strawberries adds the perfect balance to tart lemons in this recipe. Preserving the freshness allows you to serve this summertime favorite at any special occasion throughout the year.

TWO-IN-ONE BARBECUE SAUCE

The beauty of this recipe is that it allows you to create two different sauces from the same basic ingredients. The Stampede­Style Sauce is robust, perfect for red meats, while the Sweet ’n’ Sour Sauce is a seductively flavored coating that works well with chicken and fish. Use either on grilled vegetables. If you prefer, you can double the ingredients of one variety and make six jars of that.

BLACKBERRIES IN FRAMBOISE

Framboise is a raspberry brandy with an irresistible aroma. It infuses these blackberries with delectable flavor, while the cinnamon and nutmeg add an enticing hint of spice.

TOMATOES PACKED IN WATER

Whole, halved or quartered tomatoes can be hot­ or raw-­packed in water, in tomato juice (see variation, opposite) or with no added liquid (see recipe, page 356). You’ll need about 3 lbs (1.37 kg) of tomatoes for each quart (1 L) jar.

VINEGARS

Creating your own signature vinegars will provide you with a supply of unique flavor boosters at your fingertips, allowing you to save time and produce delicious meals every day of the week.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Serve this zesty condiment at any time of year to add tropical zing to your meals!
