Summary: Great Book, Not So Great Recipes!
Comment: Although this book gives excellent tips on the techniques and 'know how' of canning, the recipes are quite lacking in exact measurements. I have now made three of the recipes in this book and have had to modify all three. For example, the recipe for Cranberry Orange Relish calls for a full cup of vinegar. After following the recipe exactly it ended up tasting like a bad, vinegary wine. Next time I will decrease the amount of vinegar by 1/2 a cup.

I'm not sure if anyone actually tried out these recipes before deciding to publish them in a book but if they did, their idea of a good relish is not the same as mine.

This was otherwise a great book with great tips and techniques. Just make sure you do a test batch first so you know what needs to be changed in the recipe!

Summary: A good book for beginning canners.
Comment: This book is very thourough. The step-by-step instructions on what to do and what NOT to do are idiot proof. The book explains everything you would need to know to properly can foods. I recommend it for first time canners such as myself. The only downside-not many recipes. Also I only have a water bath canner and nearly half of the recipes are for a pressure canner. I did make some excellent Berry Jam from the book and it turned out perfect. (the first time too) A great book for beginners ready to dive in and can to their hearts content.

Summary: What a great book!
Comment: I am new to canning, but not new to dabbling in the kitchen, so I felt it was time to learn. I ordered this book before the holidays so I would have time to read it thoroughly and learn to use my canner in time to give gifts to my friends for the holidays. I've been able to pick a nice variety of recipes so not all my friends receive the same item. There were a few helpful tips that weren't in some of the other canning books I read with explanations as to 'why'. I purchased a couple of canning books at the same time as this one and borrowed a couple more, but find myself coming back to this book the most!
