Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving (Second Revised Edition)

This book is excellent in 'how to' directions for home canning. It has been many years since I did home canning & this is a good book on the techniques used in safe home canning. Worth purchasing.

The 'Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving' is just that. It explains the principles behind canning and preserving in clear terms making it perfect for those entering into this domain for the first time. The sections on safety and hygiene are especially well done. Unbaised guides to equipment purchasing and an extensive recipe section help make this a book that will have place in our kitchen for years to come. Well done to the authors.

I am happy I bought this book it has alot of useful information concerning altitudes times and temps for jarring a huge selection of specialty food items. It also has quite a nice selection of recipes.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in jarring food products.

I purchased this book along with "Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving: 400 Delicious and Creative Recipes for Today (Paperback) by Judi Kingry" and together they make a great pair. This book gives the nitty gritty on what is needed for a simple set up and that is just perfect to get me started.

This is an excellent guide to home canning. One of the best I have seen. It is easy to follow even for a beginner.
