A better title would be The Complete Book of Home Water-Bath Canning. It's not complete because home preserving includes dehydrating, freezing and pressure canning as well.

The recipes are good, leaning towards the unique rather than the basics. Everything I have tried has turned out well. ( )

I was hoping this would be the best canning book every... well, it isn't. It is like a giant Ball Blue Book. If you like the BBB then you will love this. I don't love it because so many recipes sound awful, but there are some that keep it on my shelf. ( )

Great book full of different canning recipes. It also has tips and instructions for the beginning canner but the variety of recipes makes it a must for canners of any experience level. ( )

Very concise and easy to understand instructions. I made the "golden gossip" chutney first. The end result was fantastic, but I didn't have all the ingredients prepped before hand and it took me longer than I thought because of it. I have two recipes marked to try next: zesty zucchini relish & achar (south asian pickle). ( )

I checked this out of the library and found it to be pretty comprehensive. It would be worth having.
