Book Reviews of Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving
Book Review: Canning Queen
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my 25 year old daughter, who is now carrying on the tradition of her youth of helping me preserve the bounty of summer. She LOVES the book and says it has a far more varied and unique selection of recipes than ALL of my old canning books combined. The instructions are complete, easy to understand, and ingredients readily available. The selection of recipes really impressed her. Coming from a person in the culinary arts field, that is a compliment! Our family now calls her the "Canning Queen"!Book Review: If there's only one book to obtain on the topic

Four hundred recipes for modern canners and preservers are packed into a book branded with the Ball canning label for added impact: Ball made much of the home canning equipment for decades and this book packs in user-friendly recipes for novices and experienced canners, pairing a problem solver directory with tips on canning salsas, condiments, fruits, spreads and pickles. If there's only one book to obtain on the topic, the general-interest collection will find Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving the item of choice.Book Review: First-time Canner
Summary: 5 Stars
I used the basic strawberry jam recipe in the book, using FROZEN strawberries to make people Christmas presents. Every single person who got it said that it was the best strawberry jam they've ever had. Even if I just use that one recipe (which I won't), I would say that the book has been worth the purchase already. I had my mom help me make the jam since I had never canned anything before, but I think after doing it once I could do it by myself. We didn't buy anything but the jars, so it worked really well!Book Review: Clear instructions and great tasting recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first time I have tried to can anything. Before I got this book I new very little about the entire canning process. It has clear instructions and the recipes taste great! My husband and I have canned strawberry and raspberry jam (which taste great!) so far and have plans to can some other things because we are so happy with how what we have already canned turned out. The book is full of simple recipes and instructions, great for a first time canner like myself!Book Review: Wonderful staple! Required reading for any home canner.
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally purchased this book after several years of preserve making. It provided a miising link of knowledge. I had pieced together favorite recipes from canning cookbooks - old and new - but this was compiled everything in one place. It could be considered the "the Joy of Cooking" for canning. Not always perfect, but definitely complete. The Ball Blue Book provides a wealth of knowledge to expand upon with personal experience. A necessary edition to any home library.
