 Preserving fool September 3, 2008
BALL Complete Book of Home PreservingI bought this book so I could learn the old art of preserving. I live in Maine and most of my neighbors have small farms and blueberry fields, so they offer me fresh fruits and vegetables all summer long, but I want to preserve them for those long, cold Maine winter nights.Hehehehehe. This book helped me preserve over 20 different fruits and vegetables and I love it. I now have most of my Xmas gifts all done.
 Useful September 2, 2008
It has a lot of interesting ideas, though obviously many of them are variations on the same thing. Pictures would make the book nicer, though I guess they are not as necessary as they would be in a normal cookbook.
Fantastic book good recipes September 2, 2008
This is my first book on just canning, and I must say I am very impressed. The recipes are easy to read, clear, and best of all the recipes turn out well. From this book so far I have made, peach butter, blueberry jam, garlic butter, Oktoberfest mustard, marina sauce, and put up crushed tomatoes. I have also used their recipe for fermented dill pickles and they are quite good. All of my attempts have turned out well, and jars sealed when I used their directions. There is one drawback, many of these recipes are available online on their website.
I really feel this is a terrific book to add to your library. The recipes are simple to read, and best of all they seem to be tried and true and they work well. I would definately buy this book if you are looking for a guide to canning, and I would visit their website if you just want to check out new recipes.

I live on a farm and my husband loves to garden as he is "semi" retired. We have both read this canning book from the Ball Jar company and have picked up some very healthy and handy ideas! I would recommend this book to experienced and new comers to the world of preserving our bounty!
