Sneak Peek at My Book

I know my book about home canning isn't due out for another year, but I'm quite excited about the photo shoot done by my stepdaughter Niamh Malcolm, who's been studying photojournalism at Loyalist College in Belleville.

This shot shows a quartet of jellies inspired by Asian ingredients. Left to right, they are:

• Guava Jelly (which turned out to be fun and easy)
• Lemongrass, Ginger and Kaffir Lime Jelly, created by those food geniuses Liako Dertilis and Pam Mcdonald of Red Rocket Coffee in Toronto
• Masala Chai Jelly (my own invention)
• Watermelon Jelly with Thai Sweet Basil Ribbons by Paige Bayer of Canning With Kids in San Jose

Which may give you an idea why I've been blogging so little lately; instead, I'm "jammin' all through the night"! The book is due out in Fall 2011 with Arsenal Pulp Press.
