Perfect for both the seasoned and novice canner. - Marie Simmons, author of Fresh & Fast: Inspired Cooking for Every Season and Every Day I once ate nearly an entire pint of Kelly's candied kumquats with cinnamon and star anise straight from the jar. Happily even those who don't have the pleasure of living in the same city with her can now easily make their own delicious preserves, thanks to the lovely and very clever Tart and Sweet -- which should do for Ball jars what Jim Lahey's bread recipe did for Dutch ovens. - Rachel Wharton, James Beard food journalism award winner and Deputy Editor of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn Kelly Geary 's preserves are the best i have ever tasted. She uses excellent ingredients, perfect balance, and creativity to produce something magical. When she told me that she was working on a book, I started counting the days until I could get my hands on it. I can't recommend a better book to purchase and learn from in preparation for the coming season's bounty. - Jonny Hunter, Chef, Underground Food Collective
