Book Reviews of Canning & Preserving for Dummies
Book Review: Can Can
Summary: 5 Stars
"Canning & Preserving for Dummies" was a quintessential "Dummies" book. I had never done anything remotely close to canning before and by the time I made my second batch of pickles I had a system in place and cut my time of processing by 50%. I even felt compfortable enough to look for recipes on the web and to purchase a canning recipes book. I would strongly recommend this book for canning neophytes.Book Review: Anyone can learn how to can.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have NEVER canned anything before in my entire life, and I decided to try it. I was extremely apprehensive but bought all the ingredients/equipment necessary. I read this book one time, and followed the directions. VIOLA!!! I had perfectly canned jam. I must add though, if you order any kind of water bath canner set, you will probably get a free Ball Canning Book which states the same information.Book Review: Makes Canning and Preserving a breeze! Tasty recipes, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read this cookbook cover to cover, sampled some recipes, and I'm impressed! Karen Ward took all the guess work and concerns I had out of both canning and preserving. The balance of taste in her recipes is extraordinary. Her Pear Chutney's the best I've ever had (and I've had plenty). My husband adores her bread and Butter Pickles! A great cookbook to have on hand to make holiday food gifts, too.Book Review: Very few canning recipes
Summary: 3 Stars
Good overview for a beginner, but I wanted more canning recipes. You'll need to go to another book to get that. This one just had a few jelly, salsa, pickle and a few directions on canning specific fruits and vegetables with very little on food dehydration. If you decide to get this, you'll need another book down the road if you decide to can or preserve anything else.Book Review: The Dummies Series for regular people
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE THIS BOOK!! It clearly explains how to and when to can foods. I use it like my canning dictionary and reference it constantly. I also am waiting on the Blue Ball Book which I read some of at WalMart and that book also is a big help! So, now I know what 2 books I will keep in my kitchen library to help make canning a success for myself and my son.
