Good Reference

This book was very confusing to me in the way it is set up. It is good as a reference guide but as a stand alone for canning I never would have started canning if this was the only book I had.

Complete Guide

This book should be considered the bible of all canning books. It has detail instructions that are easy to understand. I had never canned before this book, but everything I have canned since has turned out perfect. It has some of the most wonderful recipes for jams and jellies. It even tells how to pickle foods and make sauerkraut. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to can. Expert canners might even learn a new thing or two. Enjoy your reading!

Very nice book, very complete

Very nice book, with REALLY old pictures. It was complete, and answered virtually any question about canning. Would suggest this book to anyone who is interested in learning to can.
