Every summer I pick up my copy of "Well Preserved" and take a journey to Cape Cod. I have never been there personally but I have been there through the words and images in Joan's book. I imagine myself as her assistant, standing there stirring a huge pot of marmalade - waiting for my next instructions. You see, Joan's book which was published in 1998 is full of training and information that challenges us to "put up some jam" and learn new things! As I read this book I am inspired to cook, bake and dream of one day having the time to take up canning again. Her recipes and creative combinations of fruits go way beyond the ordinary. I was sorry to recently read on another blog that Joan had passed away in 2001.
