 Good basic direstions, if you can find them September 17, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I received a copy (make that two copies) as a gift, since my family knows how much I put up canned veggies and pickles. While the directions are simple and concise, the organization of this book is the exact opposite. The book is little more than a collection of guides published by the USDA with an index in the back. The small print did not help in the throes of a bushel's worth of veggies either. The lack of more complex recipes was disappointing. All in all, I'd rather have a copy of the Ball Blue Book than this.

very eaasy to read book on canning many items. I found this very useful in my kitchen, and have used several recipes from it.
 The most comprehensive canning guide ever October 10, 2005

I am thoroughly impressed with the layout, "how-to" canning guide and all the additional information provided to both the beginner and learned home canner. A real necessity to your kitchen and 'natural' food preparation process.

Save your money and buy another book (The Idiot Guides are great). This book was awful. The format is very hard to follow, the recipes are more for winning "Blue Ribbons" at fairs and not actually day to day eating.
I would not recommend this book to anyone canning for the first time.
An ignominious addition to a canning library December 11, 2002

There are numerous books and literature that provide more information in a more in-depth format available to the home canner. Virtually all of the most recent processing time information (ie not 3-4 years old) can be found at your local county extension. Skip this book and spend your $ on the Ball Blue Book or Putting Food By (but make sure to use the most recent processing times).
