Need a good canning book for X-Mas gift Yeah yeah... I know, little late to be asking. I need a good generic "How to" canning book that will be easy to locate at one of the large chain bookstores. Barnes and Nobel, Boarders etc.... Any recommendations? I have a little breathing room, don't need to have it until 5pm est today! :bear_rolleyes: T.I.A.

Re: Need a good canning book for X-Mas gift CB, Was in B&N the other day getting a how to sushi book for the gf and was scanning through some of the canning books. IMO the book from Ball, the same guys as the jars, had a pretty good book. Over 400 recipes, everything from meats, veggies, fish, fruit...think it was about $25FRNs. GOOD LUCK FIGHTIN THE MASSES.... the rooster

Re: Need a good canning book for X-Mas gift Ball blue book is THE starter book. Most other books reference the Ball blue book in some way... it is known as the canning bible. It it usually available at Wal-Mart, and book stores. Other books to look for: Ball COMPLETE book of home preserving Amazon Amazon Keeping the harvest Amazon Amazon

Re: Need a good canning book for X-Mas gift And Better homes and gardens, Canning and Preserving Recipes Amazon Amazon PS>> I like the Ball recipes and instruction the best.

I'll second that. I use this book sometimes just for the recipes whether I'm canning or not. Earlier this week I used their recipe for split pea soup -- secret ingredient, Allspice. Delicious.

Re: Need a good canning book for X-Mas gift At least you don't call it "jaring" like some of the folks around here.

Sometimes when we are dry canning beans and such, it certainly feels like jarring and not canning.....
