Beverly Ellen Schoonmaker Alfeld (AKA Jamlady), author of our favorite book on canning and preserving (The Jamlady Cookbook) is back with a fabulous new book that will teach you more than you thought any one person could know about making pickles, relishes, chutneys and the like.

This is a beautifully produced book, peppered with lots of full color photos and bursting at the seams with Alfeld’s inexhaustible supply of hows, whys, tricks, tips, and techniques for making perfectly preserved condiments and edible culinary accessories.

In addition to all the instruction materials, there are tons of delicious recipes, many of them Jamlady originals, for every type of pickle, relish, and chutney you can think of. Even more importantly, with the information you learn in the introductory chapters, you'll soon be creating your own concoctions.

Bravo to Beverly Ellen Schoonmaker Alfeld for bringing the art of home canning and preserving back from the brink of extinction in such an interesting, stylish, and flavorful way.
