 Good resource for the home canner October 9, 2008
This is a good book to have on hand, especially if you are new to home canning. The step by step instructions make it easy to follow the recipes. The only thing I didn't like was that some ingredients are measured by pounds. I'm not sure if they could have converted them to cups, instead. Other than that, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to try preserving their own food.
Must Have! - Great Canning Info with Variety of Recipes September 30, 2008
New Grilling Book. 2nd Edition
This is an excellent canning book. I checked this book out at my library 2 years ago & learned how to can. I am addicted to canning and had to buy my own. All the recipes I have tried have been excellent. I have several books on canning and this is by far the best.
I recently found The New Grilling Book by Better Homes & Gardens on sale for $4 and grabbed it just because it was a great price. I took it home and was happily suprised. It has hundreds of grilling recipes that use jams-marmalades-fruit preserves as the base for many of their marinades & sauces. I like to give recipes with my jams/preserves to friends and family and these are a great addition.

Comprehensive basic canning September 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I regard this book as a comprehensive basic book. Most of the book consists of recipes suitable to putting food up via either boiling water or pressure canning. It covers basic procedures for both. It is NOT as broad as the book suggests, however. A true "complete book of home preserving" would require volumes - even without recipes. You won't find drying, salting, root cellar storage, vacuum or inert gas preservation, or the myriad of other preservation techniques in this book. Rather, the focus is on the types of preservation for which Ball makes their products (surprise, surprise!), but also, to be completely fair to Ball, the types of most interest to the most people. Well worth while. Just be aware that you are really buying a cookbook. Boiling water and pressure canning techniques themselves can be covered in just a few pages, as they are in this book.
