This is really for those who know nothing about the subject, so if that's you then it will be great. Not so good for for a person who has moderate experience already.

shmoopyThorough. Preserve with confidence. Helpful tips, also, explains what's good, bad, or dangerous about past methods. Wish there were more recipes, but there are enough to get you started.

amedI bought this as a gift for a friend and ended up having to get a copy for myself. It has great recipes and answers most of the canning questions one would ever have.

Received my online order within the delivery time..the book arrived in great shape. I've briefly browsed through the pages and for a NEVER CANNED BEFORE rookie, it seems like quite the production. Now, hopefully with good weather ahead of us and produce springing up at the YOU PICK areas soon..I'm hoping the motivation and curiousity will get me on my new project!

If you dont know how or know little about canning, then this book is for you. It was very educational and helped us tremendously. We had to use less salt in the pickle recipies, but other than that we had no problems. It has a permanent spot with our canning supplies.
