THE BLUE CHAIR JAM COOKBOOK
Rachel Saunders
If you love to cook, are crazy for fruit, or have even a passing
interest in jam or marmalade, Rachel Saunders’s The Blue Chair Jam
Cookbook is the book for you. Rachel is the founder of the Bay Area
jam company Blue Chair Fruit, which earned instant fame for its
intensely flavored preserves when it launched in 2008. Rachel’s
passion for fruit shines through every part of this lavishly illustrated
384-page book, which is the culmination of nearly ten years of
research. The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook is the essential jam and
marmalade book of the twenty-first century, one in which Rachel’s
modern yet nostalgic vision of cooking takes center stage.
Rachel offers an in-depth exploration of individual fruits, a
comprehensive technical section, and nearly 120 original recipes
organized around the seasons. In offerings ranging from plain
Lemon Marmalade and Plum Jam to Strawberry-Blood Orange
Marmalade with Rosemary and Black Fig and Candied Citrus Jam,
she vividly captures the joyful essence of fruit and of the preserving
process.
The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook is not only an exciting and vibrant
exploration of fruit and of the seasons, but also one of the few books
to clearly explain and illustrate preserving techniques. Each recipe
includes clear and detailed directions to help ensure success, and
Rachel explores a wide range of technical questions as they relate to
individual fruits and types of preserves. Whether you make jam or
marmalade once a year or every week, and whether you are a home
or professional cook, The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook is sure to claim a
special place in your cookbook library.

For Anne and Richard, who gave
me my first stepstool so I could reach the
kitchen counter.
And for Mark—I love you. I love you.
