The book does a very good work explaining how to get into canning and has a substantial number of quality canning recipes. There are a number of mouth wateringly good photographs of some of the recipes. I only wish I had bought it in hard cover instead of paperback.

I love this book - I have been canning for years, but this book has wonderful new recipes that are easy to use and very practical. What you see on the cover is exactly what you get and my family loves the new twists on fruits and vegetables. Grandma's chili sauce is a particular favorite and the brandies apples and cinnamon hot apples are another.
This book expands on a lot more canning recipes using the boiling water bath (bwb), and it has some really good sounding recipes, especially for Herbed Tomatoes. I bought it because I belong to a couple of canning groups, and everyone was abuzz about it. I love to find new canning books (and some old ones too). So many people talk about the Ball Blue Book as the canning "bible" and this new book from the same company that produce the Ball Blue Book might take it's place. It will be worth the money to buy if you do a lot of canning.
I have an older version of this book and it was my canning bible. Ordered this book because it has up-to-date processing instructions. It has a great variety of canning recipes which are easy to follow. You cannot go wrong with this book from a trusted name in canning!

I RECIEVED MY "BALL HOME PRESERVING BOOK" LAST WEEK AND HAVE LOVED AND I MEAN LOVED EVERY RECIPE SO FAR. IVE FOUND ANSWERS TO EVERY QUESTION IVE HAD. ITS WELL COMPILED AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THIS IS GREAT FOR BEGINNER AS WELL AS SEASONED CANNERS. MY CREATIVITY HAS BEEN IGNITED AND IM HAVING A BLAST CREATING MY OWN FLAVOR PROFILES AND RECIPES. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE EVEN THINKING ABOUT HOME PRESERVING. IN AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMY IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO HAVE A STORE OF FOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYONE WILL ENJOY GETTING INVOLVED. CANNING IS A FUN FAMILY ACTIVITY AND TEACHES SELF RELIANCE. BUY IT AND TRY IT OR EVEN CHECK YOUR LIBRARY ALTHOUGH YOU'LL WANT ONE OF YOUR OWN AND HAVE A GREAT TIME AS YOU ARE SAVING MONEY. SINCERELY SUSAN
