 Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving - 400 Delicious and Creative Recipes for Today October 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book for both beginners and experienced canners. I did some canning several years ago and this year was looking for apple recipes as we had an overabundance of them. Found several that I have tried from jam that called "Mom's Apple Pie in a Jar" to regular applesauce.
My only objection is that the Apple Pie Filling recipe is put up in pints and it doesn't tell you that you need 2 pints of the filling to make an acual pie.
 Wonderful book July 25, 2007

As a gross amateur in the realms of preserving food I would have to say that this is the easiest, most complete book on preservation that I've read. The recipes look great, they're all made simple to understand and the several items that I have made have come out wonderfully
Great book, no matter your skill level May 13, 2007

I got this book about three weeks ago, having never canned or preserved, and I was completely impressed. Using the recipes inside, I've made pickled ocra, green beans, brandied cherries, sweet asparagus, and the hands down best pickle relish I've ever had in my life. It has hundreds of recipes, and they are all wonderful. If you're into fruit preserves or jams, sweet or dill pickles, slasas, relishes, chutneys, condiments, you name it, there are dozens of recipes of each type of food. I'll be tackling some home made wine and cranberry mustard next week. The first batches of pickles I made were with utensils I already had on hand. All you need is the mason jars if you have a well stocked kitchen. I've sense bought some bottle clamps to get the jars out of the hot water, but that's about it.
Here are the pros:
*) Thorough discussion of the steps of preserving.
*) Discussion on foodborne illness and how to kill it through preserving.
*) A look at high acid versus low acid canning.
*) A handy guide of produce weight and volume (for example, one pound of cherries equals 2 1/2 cups of cherries, so you know exactly what to get at the store).
*) Amazing, easy recipes for all levels of skill and tastes.
*) Dozens of variations on recipes (not just one type of cucumber pickle, but several!)
Buy this book if you're thinking of starting or even an old time pro. It's great fun, and it can produce pickles, ketchups, and preserves where you controll all the ingredients (and can even go organic!).

Four hundred recipes for modern canners and preservers are packed into a book branded with the Ball canning label for added impact: Ball made much of the home canning equipment for decades and this book packs in user-friendly recipes for novices and experienced canners, pairing a problem solver directory with tips on canning salsas, condiments, fruits, spreads and pickles. If there's only one book to obtain on the topic, the general-interest collection will find Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving the item of choice.
