What We Like
- This is a great starter book to help someone new to food preservation through the basics. It also has a lot of recipes to try as you get started.
- Simple, step-by-step instructions are perfect to help a beginner through the process and keep them from being lost.
- The recipes include a nice variety from salsas to pickling, dipping sauces, jams and pie fillers.
Some things to consider:
- If you have the canning basics down and have gone through the process a time or two, you may not get too much new information out of this book. This is definitely a beginning to intermediate canning book.
- For those who are visual learners and doers, it would have been nice to have more pictures in the book to use as a reference.
