This book will broaden your view both of ways to use fruits and of what fruits are worth using. The 225 recipes include jams, jellies, marmalades, preserves, conserves, syrups, shrubs, curds, flavored vinegars, and fruit pastes. Although you'll find plenty of recipes here for the most popular fruits—strawberries, blackberries, apples, plums, and so on—many of the fruits covered are rarely sold in markets but are easy to grow (black and red currants, medlars, and haskaps, for example) or to forage (green walnuts, cherry plums, and haws). Easy-to-find tropical fruits—bananas, coconuts, mangoes, papayas—are included as well. For fruit lovers, the book is truly a joy. But The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves goes beyond fruit. There are also recipes for flowers (roses and violets) and for nuts (walnuts, chestnuts, and hazelnuts). The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves makes it easy to decide how to use your produce, because the book is organized alphabetically by fruit name (flowers and nuts get a chapter each). Each chapter begins with a discussion of the subject—its history, its cultivars, where and how it grows, and how to harvest and preserve it. Experienced as well as novice preservers are sure to learn from the book's first chapter, "Preserver's Primer." It not only reviews the canning process but explains the theory of making gelled preserves and provides recipes for homemade pectin. No other modern guide to making sweet preserves is as comprehensive and authoritative as this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1 x 9.13 inches | | Isbn 10 | 1558324062 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1558324060 | | Item Weight | 1.43 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 384 pages | | Publication Date | May 17, 2009 | | Publisher | Harvard Common Press | ## Images ![The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves: 200 Classic and Contemporary Recipes Showcasing the Fabulous Flavors of Fresh Fruits - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GqXN9cKuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Kitchen should have one. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 7, 2012* Whether you are just starting out or have been canning for years, no kitchen should be without this book. Good and easy step by step instructions will have you turning out sweet preserves in no time. with all the different techniques in this book, you will want to try each one at least once. One of the best features of this book is the "Table of Contents". It is not based on each Chapter but each of the many different recipes this book has to offer. You have only to scroll threw it and select one you want to try. My families favorite is the Caramel-Apple Jam. This jam has a very yummy flavor and will sure to be a staple at my breakfast table. Another must try are any of the "Leathers" or fruit roll-ups. Even my husband likes to grab one or two for his pocket to munch on at work. Sure not everyone can pull a dehydrator out of the cupboard but if you ask around, friends, family i'm sure someone in your circle of people either has one or knows someone who does, but this booik also tells you how to do it the truly old fashion way. Simple window screens purchaced at your local hardware store and cheesecloth are all you really need, along with hot summer days. But, as the book states, most people use a dehydrator and going to your local thrift store might even yield one. For thoes of you that are unsure of what some of the measurements break down to, there is an easy to read "Measurement Equivalents" chart just for you as well. :) Happy jamming and creating, for once you get the hang of it, you will want to try out some different flavors of your own and impress family and friends! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific recipes *by on Reviewed in the United States August 29, 2010* Aside from the brilliant organisation where it is grouped by fruit and the abundance of information about each fruit, the recipes are outstanding. I just made both the apple butter and the caramel-apple jam since apple picking has begun a bit early this year and I was reminded I should submit a review since there are lots of new 'putting by' books these days, many of which aren't that good.The caramel-apple jam recipe is worth the price of the book alone. Spread it on toast with a bit of peanut butter and it's even better than eating a messy caramel apple.It's not for beginners or for those who prefer using pectin, but if you're looking for a bunch of recipes that covers a wide range of fruits that yield what the recipe states it will and really are delicious (I've made about 20 of the recipes so far and have yet to be disappointed), this is a stand-out collection in a growing field of disappointing books.My thanks to the author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice recipes, a good sensible book *by on Reviewed in the United States January 16, 2011* TJJ is a nice, sensible, no nonsense book. The recipes are clear and concise, and, although not particularly imaginative, there are enough recipes included to satisfy most tastes.The format of the book is good with chapters being devoted to various fruits (and other ingredients, such as flowers), with several recipes for each fruit in each chapter, each one covering a different type of preserve. For instance, in the Apple chapter, there are recipes for Apple Butter, Low Sugar Apple Butter, Cider Syrup and Jelly, Apple Ginger Preserves, Caramel Apple Jam and Apple Mint Jelly, among others - very comprehensive! On the negative side, there are a few chapters a bit more obscure - coconut, for instance. Why the author included a chapter on a "fruit" such as coconut and only included one recipe is beyond me! However, that's a minor gripe.Other reviewers have indicated that the recipes are not particularly suited for the novice canner - I disagree! I don't think there's anything difficult about any of the recipes and beginners should not be put off from trying anything that takes their fancy. The recipes are all set out in a step by step manner, with anything tricky noted in the introduction at the beginning of the recipe.What perhaps the book is missing (and this is perhaps what other reviewers have alluded to) is a step by step methodology for the canning process. There is a chapter titled "Preservers Primer" which details different kinds of preserves and their history, Pectin (including a recipe or two on how to make your own) and a bit about tools used in canning but the book is perhaps lacking in the step by step approach a lot of other books offer.But beginners, don't be put off - this is a very, very good book on the subject, not pretty (no pictures) but practical and clearly written. I get the impression that anything made from this book will be a success. This book is a welcome addition to my canning Library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3439900-the-joy-of-jams-jellies-and-other-sweet-preserves-200](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3439900-the-joy-of-jams-jellies-and-other-sweet-preserves-200) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
