1.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant Eye-Candy, March 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Perfect Preserves: Easy Recipes for Delicious Jams, Jellies, Pickles, and Relishes (Hardcover)

This book is basically pleasant eye-candy with nice pictures. However, the canning methods illustrated are outdated and potentially dangerous. For example, the book suggests creating a vacuum seal on jars by turning over the jars after filling. Since this method does not effectively seal out all potential contaminants, it is not perfectly safe! There are better reference books out there, most notably "Blue Ribbon Preserves" by Linda J. Amendt.

This is a slight bit different book. Suitable for display. Very pretty book!!!!!!! Different kinds of preserves, from the usual kinds you see.
