Jellies, Jams & Chutneys Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The author is English, so you will find lots of unusual jam and chutney recipes here that you wouldn't see in an American cookbook. The one drawback is that the canning techniques used are foreign to most Americans, and not USDA compliant, but I say just use the recipe and can using the instructions on the USDA website if you are concerned.
