This book is all you need to learn how to can, dry, or freeze food. Not only does it give the usual recipes for jams and jellies, but also vegetables, pickles, meats, and more. It is a good resource for the experienced as well as the novice. Everything you would need to know is included in this book.

I have made different kinds of Jams and jellies and are thrilled with the results. A few of them did not jell, so I had to redo them.

While I think it is a great book I can not get kids and their families to purchase it due to the price and mailing costs. I use the book while I am judging to show a resource to kids.

This preserving book is one of the easiest to follow as I am fairly new at canning other than using the freezing process. 1) I ordered a second one for a gift as I liked it so well.

I have just learned to can and it seems everyone refers to this book as the "canning bible". There are a few good recipes in here along with the basics of canning which was very helpful. I was also pleasant surprised to receive the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving which has a ton of recipes, some of which I have already tried with great success! I think I'm addicted.!!!

this book has alot of useful tips. the only thing it does not cover is after bottling what to do to prevent the jars from popping or exploding 3weeks after the jar processing.
