      Interested in making your own preserves? Former Chez Panisse chef Goldstein, author of several cookbooks, including The New Mediterranean Jewish Table, offers a detailed guide. The author shares her background on preserving, then presents "a primer" on the basics of preparation and food safety. Equipment is discussed, along with "techniques and pointers" such as macerating, skimming, and timing. Fruit is profiled seasonally with recipes for jams, chutneys, marmalades, and preserves, along with specialized items such as spicy tomato ketchup and apple butter. Spring and summer provide many choices--in spring, strawberries, rhubarb, cherries, and carrots are featured in recipes for carrot-rhubarb jam and cherry-orange marmalade. In summer, Goldstein shows how to make use of peaches, currants, and berries with recipes such as Sicilian peach and lemon preserves and red currant jam. Pears, apples and quince are highlighted with apple chutney and membrillo for fall, while winter rounds out with citrus, pumpkin and winter squash and cranberry-tangerine preserves. VERDICT Public libraries should own many resources on this topic, and Goldstein's accessible guide presents an excellent option for those seeking to create and enjoy their own preserves.--Barbara Kundanis, Longmont P.L., CO
