Windfalls by Sue Ruchel
Beautifully designed, with delicate little drawings by Helen Semmler, this is a facsimile of the original printing, published in 1993, with some minor corrections in the text. If you want to make medlar jelly or quandong jam, chokko chutney or tamarillo sauce (or if you just want to give plain old plum jam a bit of a kick), Sue Ruchel shows you how - as well as revealing her methods for drying, crystallising, and...many other country kitchen secrets! You can use these recipes to stock the larder, or to make gifts for Christmas and birthdays, and 'thankyous' for neighbours, friends, and clients. Sue Ruchel finds such presents are invariably received with delight - and they're so easy to do!
