We have been canning, freezing, drying for decades (grew up on a farm in WI-had to!) and always looking for more help in these areas - this book is great for all knowledge levels. Very easy to read, understand and follow!! Way to go Ball!! Now they need to come out with an "oven canning" guide and I will be a happy harvester!!!

OUTSTANDING!!
lots of great recipes
Took a canning class through local cooperative extension. This book was highly recommended. We made two of the jelly recipes and the Cranberry Conserve. All were delicious. It gives directions for proper canning. It's a Ball book. That says it all.
This one complete canning guide
Great
Great new recipes, some of the old standards, new way of processing (or maybe an old way, but never saw before). Good book, great value.
A perfect gift for a new canner.
I bought this for a newcomer to canning and it was a big hit.
