This Week's Giveaway: 250 Home Preserving Favorites by Yvonne Tremblay
I admit it. I had never made my own jams, jellies or preservatives before now because to be honest, it all just seemed too messy, too time consuming and too difficult. So when I received a copy of 250 Home Preserving Favorites by Yvonne Tremblay, I expected to open it up and find complicated ingredients fololwed by complicated instructions. Boy, was I wrong.

Yvonne Tremblay is a four time winner of the Grand Champion Jam and Jelly Maker Award as well as a professional recipe developer, food stylist and cooking instuctor. Using all of her expertise, she has put together an outstanding collection of delectable small batch preserves by combining fabulous fruits, berries, herbs, spices and liqueurs in this great, easy to follow book. No matter what your level of preservative cooking experience, you'll end up with successful and incredible jams, jellies, marmalades, conserves, fruit butters and chutneys because Yvonne's simple, step-by-step instructions are fail proof.

Enjoy the essence of summer year-round and experience a world of flavors by creating delectable spreads such as these:
