Description
'Generations of housewives have taken pride in a store-cupboard well stocked with jars of home-made jams and marmalades and bottles of preserved fruit. In olden days the 'know-how' was handed down from mother to daughter but occasionally seemingly inexplicable troubles occurred. Today, rule-of-thumb methods have been replaced by scientific knowledge and there is no reason why everyone who is prepared to work accurately and carefully should not be rewarded by complete success in preserving.'
