My family circle book is years old, and is stained with spices and tomatoes on almost every page. Its organised by season so its great to leaf through looking for what to do with whats cheap at the time. It also has suggestions for using the finished product, which is great if something sounds great but when you actually make it you have no idea what to do with it!

"you tube," is worth a visit as well. I have several books but prefer looking on the computer, more up to the minute.

My 1971 University of Otago Extension Studies publications - one is called Preserving; one is Jams and Jellies; and the third one is Pickles and Relishes. I have had them since I was first married- they are falling apart- great information on basic recipes you can alter and explanations of which fruits have pectin etc. I also use Digby Law's book on Pickles and Relishes all the time.

The AWW Preserves book is a very good one too.I managed to get my copy from TM and use it a lot, some great recipes in there.

Remember if your family won't eat stewed, plums, they won't eat them bottled.
