An old favorite September 2, 2008
I wore out my old copy, was happy to see that it is still avalable in a updated version with all the old information still included.
 Great for some, not others August 23, 2008
Absolutely excellent and comprehensive, but if you're new to canning--a city girl like me or simply afraid of killing someone with your canned goods--start with something less scary.
Best all around book for food preservation July 17, 2008

Owned my first couple for years and gave it away to a relative. Had to buy another copy. It is the very best of the all-around food preservation books on the market. It is a must for the reference shelf.
 Very complete book July 8, 2008

This book will tell you everything you need to know to preserve your own food. It covers canning, freezing, drying, smoking and root cellars.
I found it very helpful, but a little intimidating. They emphasize safety, and they definitely should, but almost to the point of scaring you to death! I think sometimes the completeness makes the whole process seem much harder than it really is.
I've made two batches of jam so far, and all went well.
All in all the book is great, but I'd also read through the Ball books, as they make the process seem easier.

We have used this book for years for the preservation and keeping of food. It is complete, easy to understand and thorough. Highly Recommended for beginners and seasoned canners. The perfect reference book.
