Customer Reviews

It is a JOY

This book is GREAT!!!! If you can, this is the book! I have used so many recipes out of this book already. This is the 1st time I have canned since I was 6 yrs old with my mother making jelly. this book is great.

Great for beginners!

This cookbook contains all the instructions a beginner needs for canning. Being a total klutz in the kitchen and having a negative amount of cooking talent (i.e. can barely make toast without burning either myself or the toast), I wasn't expecting my first canning attempt to be a success. However, it was, and I now have several jars of delicious strawberry jam in my pantry! I will use this book a lot - it contains a nice diversity of recipes.

Timesaving Techniques

A handy book that includes timesaving techniques from microwave oven jams to quick pickles, classic recipes such as Strawberry Jam and Canned Tomatoes as well as exciting new recipes including Christmas Conserves and Four Citrus Marmalade. Recommended. Janet Sue Terry - author of "A Rich, Deliciously Satisfying Collection of Breakfast Recipes".

Practical book

I bought four different books in preparation of the harvest season and having no idea what to do with 40L of berries. Of the four, this is the only one that is effectively illustrated, nicely organized and gives you all you need to know in a little more than 120 pages. It covers all the sorts of fruits and veg that most people will be happy with while leaving room for variation and experimentation. I just made a batch of the cranberry conserve that should be fabulous to enjoy during the dark days of winter.

Excellent Book

I recently started canning and found this book to be a wonderful resource. There are lots of different types of recipes and they all taste great. The best blueberry jam I have ever had!
