Buy This Book,
By Restoring Stationmaster's House (Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Keeping the Harvest: Preserving Your Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs (Down-to-Earth Book) (Paperback)
I bought three books on canning and this book was the best. It is simple to understand, has pictures of the way things should look, such as the canning jars in a not water bath. I was canning tomatos and this book was so easy to follow. It listed the different methods for canning, as stating the best method.I bought a pressure cooker and could not understand the manufactures directions, this book explained in simple terms, everything I needed to know, to use the pressure cooker. It has pictures on how to can tomatos from start to finish, which I really appreciated. To me a picture is worth a thousand words. I think if you are a first time canner or even experienced, that this easy to use book is for you. I know I will be using it for years to come. Thank you to the authors.
