Good overall resource

I think this is a good resource for the home canner. Disappointed however in the recipes included. I expected there to be more recipes in this book for pressure canning ready made meals than it had. There are a lot of recipes for jams, condiments & sauces which is not what I was interested in. Good, just not what I had expected.Read full review

Most Interesting and Informative

I bought my first Ball preserving/canning book about 35+ years ago. This was my learning book and guide for preserving vegetables and jam. It was a basic book about 1/4 inch thick but the instructions for water bath and pressure canning methods were explained well. I had to stop growing all my vegetables and canning about 15 years ago due to declining physical function due to medical issues. I bought this book out of curiosity and was so glad I did! It is full of wonderful and interesting recipes that can me made even if you don't want to "can" them and they can be downsized for family sized portions. Book looks great!Read full review

Go can't go wrong with BALL

This edition has more recipe photos with recipes than my other one. If you are a beginner canning then you might want to get the older edition it shows more pics of how to can and I like it better myself.Read full review
