32 Dear @tg-salutation1@
33 Summer's harvest is upon us, bringing a wealth of fresh produce
34 to savour today, and preserve for tomorrow. Round about now, wise
35 cooks are putting their jam pan, blanching basket and freezer to
36 good use. Our new Summer Kitchenware Catalogue has everything needed
37 to bottle the sunshine flavours - plus plenty more goodies besides.
38 Enjoy the preview! |

50 Whether growing your own, buying from the supermarket, or visiting
51 a local greengrocer, seasonal vegetables are so appealing at this
52 time of year. To keep their essential nutrients and delicious crunch
53 intact, steaming is by far the best way of cooking. The new Tefal
54 2 Tier Steamer ensures quick, even heat distribution; reduces
55 stovetop time; and has to be one of the smartest we've seen. French
56 beans, peas, broccoli and broad beans lend themselves particularly
57 well to blanching and freezing; we're introducing a stainless steel
58 Blanching
59 Basket, which helpfully folds flat for storage.
60 Do you love proper butter but find it becomes unspreadable when
61 left in the fridge? Put the block in our exclusive Insulated
62 Butter Dish and you can keep it out on the kitchen worktop,
63 without fear of the butter melting on hot days, or when the central
64 heating is turned on. The Sugar
65 Sifting Spoon would have been a familiar sight on Victorian
66 tea tables, for dusting icing sugar onto crumpets and muffins. Nowadays
67 we use this 'holey' stainless steel spoon for sweetening up strawberries
68 - everyone's favourite summertime dessert. Pretty things are hard
69 to resist, such as our Floral
70 Snack Tray & Mug. It's crafted in the heart of the Staffordshire
71 Potteries, and decorated with elegant blooms. |

84 We've picked a selection of quotes on one of our - and your - favourite
85 topics... cookery!
86 "I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook
87 can play each time with a variation."
88 Madame Benoit
89 "Kissing don't last: cookery do!"
90 George Meredith
91 "The cook was a good cook, as good as cooks go; and as good
92 cooks go, she went."

104 My second's in marmalade, but not in your tummy!
105 My third is in beetroot, and also red cabbage
106 My fourth's in a pickle, but not in horseradish
107 My fifth is in olives, but not piccalilli
108 My sixth is the last, you'll find it in chutney
109 My whole is a gadget you all love and cherish
110 Without me you cannot get into your relish!

127 For most of us, junk mail and 'cold' telephone calls rank highly
128 among life's little irritations. You can imagine how much positive
129 feedback we got a couple of years ago, after telling our customers
130 how to reduce the number of unwanted letters and phone calls they
131 receive. Registering your details with the Mailing and Telephone
132 Preference Services can make a big difference, and it only takes
133 a minute or two. Just visit www.mpsonline.org.uk
134 and www.tpsonline.org.uk.
135
136 These two quotes sum up the appreciative comments we received from
137 our customers...
138 "Very many thanks for the Mailing and Telephone Preference
139 numbers; I didn't even know they existed."
140 "Good for you to tell people about the Telephone and Mailing
141 Preference Services. They are so effective."

156 Come wintertime, glistening jars of home-made preserve will be a
157 welcome reminder of sunnier days - nothing comforts like raspberry
158 jam spooned generously onto hot buttered toast! According to our
159 dear friend, food writer Liz Franklin, a good rule of thumb is 1lb
160 sugar to 1lb fruit, with a little extra for gooseberries, blackcurrants
161 and damsons. She says the simplest 'setting test' is to drip a teaspoon
162 of boiling jam onto a cold plate, allow to cool, then push gently
163 with your finger to see if it wrinkles. You may prefer a Preserving
164 Thermometer, in which case, setting point is generally reached
165 at 104°C/220°F.

177 Check over your raspberries and remove the stalks.
178 Place the sugar and fruit in a jam pan such as the Stainless
179 Steel Preserving Pan and leave to stand for several
180 hours so the juice runs and sugar dissolves. |

184 Slowly bring to the boil. Continue a good rolling boil for
185 4 minutes, then begin the setting test. Take care not to over-cook. |

209 Each month we feature some of our favourite products, to help you
210 get the best from the latest ACompany Catalogue.
211 Spoil yourself by taking tea in the fine bone china Scottish
212 Rose Tea For One. Mary Berry has bottled her traditional family
213 recipe for Hollandaise
214 Sauce; it's wonderful served with fresh fish and asparagus.
215 When you have guests for dinner, Mini
216 Butter Knives are a thoughtful touch at their place settings.
217 Plain ices and yoghurts are transformed by a sprinkling of Crunchy
218 Ice Cream Toppings; while Vanilla
219 Pumpkin Munchy Seeds are yummy scattered over sundaes and banana
220 splits (also when eaten straight from the tub!). If you like something
221 to nibble alongside your tea, 'Cuppa
222 and a Biscuit' perfectly fits the bill.
