Hey, I Wrote an eBook!

If you’ve stopped by this blog in the past week, you may have noticed something new floating around in the upper right-hand corner of the page. After publishing a book or two or three on subjects unrelated to making preserves, I’ve just written my first eBook on a subject I truly love — the best damn jam I know how to make.

I’ve been doing “how-to” writing for a long time — almost sixteen years now. So it was natural (almost compulsive, really) to start writing detailed, step-by-step instructions for making preserves, including every tip and trick I know. That’s what I try to do each time I post a recipe on the blog — but when I came back from the Marin County Fair with my handful of ribbons, I was inspired to create something special. I wanted to gather those prizewinning recipes into a simple, neat-o format that I could share via download. That’s what this eBook is for.

I’ll tell you this, though. I was all over the map about how much money to ask for it. This money-charging thing doesn’t come so naturally to me. First, I priced it abysmally low (I won’t even tell you) and then, when I was encouraged to price it higher, I overshot in that direction, too. I finally settled on $9.95, which feels like a fair price for the hard work that I put into it and the good information you’ll get from it. And a girl’s gotta do something to keep herself in fruit, you know?

So you can click right here to learn more about what the book has to offer and to read some great reviews. Whether you go for it or prefer to come around here for the recipes that don’t cost a thing, I’m grateful that you take the time to visit.

Enjoy!
