As a vegetarian cookbook author, columnist and instructor, I love cookbooks of all kinds and download at least a few, every week here at Amazon. All too often they turn out being a big disappointment for a variety of reasons. Happily that was not the case today, when I downloaded a copy of this lovely cookbook.:-)The variety of recipes and quality of work that went into this cookbook is admirable. I was literally dazzled by all there was to choose from, during my initial browse through this book.I have already picked out several recipes I hope to try very soon including: Pear Walnut Jam, Fig and Walnut Jam and  Corn Freezer Pickle...to name but three.Most of the recipes contain only healthy, easy to find ingredients and not too much sugar. All too often, preserves, jam, chutney recipes go overboard (in a big way) when it comes to sweeteners.That being said, I did note a couple of recipes that had JELLO in them and a few with a lot of sugar, but this was the case in a very limited number of recipes. Those I will be skipping and don't plan to make.The recipes were nicely formatted and even included suggestions for containers most suitable for that particular recipe, very helpful too.If you've been looking for a comprehensive collection of old-fashioned, tried and true recipes for jams, chutneys, pickles...check this one out.This one will definitely be a keeper on my kindle. ;-)Geraldine Helen Hartman author of: The Groovy Green Kitchen: Weeknight Veggie Slow Cooker
