a true gem. every kitchen should have this book. i grew up watching my mom can. and my wife and i finally gave it a whirl. using this book. it was a very easy process even though the initial though of canning can be daunting. i bought a second book for a friend. she has been canning all her life. and she also praised this book.

Having loaned out my Ball Book, I opted to try for this one...bad mistake. If you are interested in mostly creating preserves, as in a fruit spread like jelly, jam, conserves this would be acceptable. I wanted to refresh my memory on foods for pressure canning and the length of time to process vegetables, soups, et al,
however I strongly suggest you purchase a Ball Cookbook. If you need to purchase a used one, I would recommend you do so.
