 Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving: 400 Delicious and Creative Recipes for Today June 26, 2008
L. Anderson (Albany, Georgia)
If you buy only one book on home canning/preserving, this is the one! I checked out every book at the local library; browsed bookstores and website publications. The recipes are great...love the variations for using the minimum of sugar for canning fruits etc. Instructions on canning/preserving are very clear and precise. Side notes on the recipes tell you why a particular technique is best and how it actually works. Much more than a "pickle, jam and vegetable" book. You can preserve all kinds of meats too! Goose, Duck, Game Birds, Roast Beef, Fish Clams...just to name a few. The only difficult part is deciding what to cook LOL!
Canning Basics w/loads of Recipes June 16, 2008
Davl (Cary, NC USA)
This is my primary book for canning - started off not knowing anything about canning, this book got me on the right track quickly with delicious results.
Great Book for Summer Gardens! June 16, 2008
Becky (SmallTown, TX USA)
I LOVE this book!!! Lots of beautiful photos to inspire you, plus plenty of variety throughout. Recipes are mostly for high-acid foods (water-bath canning) with very few for pressure canners, but that's OK with me. Love the variety of relish and salsa recipes, as everyone has different preferences. Would buy this book for anyone interested in home canning, especially one who enjoys being creative.
 Need more Pressure Cooking Recipes June 7, 2008
William W. Weaver (dallas)
It's a great book for canning and the fundamentals of pressure cooking but I would of like more pressure canning recipes.
A Lot of good recipes May 19, 2008
Ellen O. Williams (Texas)
This is a very nice book with a lot of recipes in different categories. There's not a lot of 'how to' for beginners, but I would recommend this book.
