The Best Canning Book

I have been collecting the ball book ever since I learned how to scan from my mother when I was 11 or 12 and I think the ball book is the absolute best book for canning so I have compared it to other books, but I still go back to the ball book and this one is better than ever that's .

Ball Blue Book 38th Edition is terrific as usual

Terrific book, excellent value. I get the Ball Blue Book only about every 10 yrs or so, so this 38th edition published in 2024 is the first one I have that includes the USDA's revised 2015 guidelines for canning. And it has a lot of added recipes for me to try! I really like the 'You Choose' and 'Our Tip' features of the recipes that suggest alternatives. Also keep in mind that this is a book about Preserving the harvest, so it's not just canning. It covers freezing and dehydrating as well. Ball never disappoints.

Always good info

Ball always has great info for canning. This is a must-have for beginner canners. Explains things well and has tried and tested recipes. The quality of the book is nice and should withstand being in a messy kitchen while canning.
