There'¬"s something about home-made produce which always tastes so much better '¬ ; especially if you follow Gloria Nicol'¬"s 100 delicious and original recipes for jams, jellies, marmalades, curds, cordials, fruits in syrup, chutneys and pickles. You only have to look on the shelves of the smartest delicatessens to see that making jams and jellies has never been so popular, with flavours and combinations that range from the traditional tried-andtested recipes to the more adventurous and exotic.
