Description
Jam, Jelly and Marmalade by Sarah B. Hood explores the passion people have for their favourite jam, jelly, or marmalade, whether they make it themselves or simply enjoy it with breakfast.
Award-winning jam-maker Sarah B. Hood delves into the history of these sweet treats, from simple fruit preserves to staple commodities, gifts for royalty, global brands, wartime comforts, and valued delicacies. She traces connections between sweet preserves and significant historical events such as the Temperance movement, the Crusades, the prevention of scurvy, medieval banquets, Georgian dinner parties, Scottish breakfasts, Joan of Arc, and the adoption of tea-drinking in Europe.
The book also explores the birth of unique local specialties and treasured regional customs, the rise and fall of international marmalade mavens, the mobilisation of volunteer preserve-makers on a grand scale, and a jam-factory revolution.
