Review
This book gives you all the basics for canning, freezing, drying, preserving and storing a variety of fruits and vegetables, and drying herbs. There are also recipes and instructions for making jams and jellies, pickled vegetables and even sauerkraut. Food preservation has a long tradition; it's practical for reasons of economy and convenience, but it evokes a special feeling to serve peaches in mid- December to your family, or to give something home-canned to a friend. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This Book, September 22, 2002
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm a 1st time canner & this book was helpful., December 30, 1998
By A Customer
I found this book in the library and used it for my first garden bounty -- my first canned peaches, my first jam, and my first frozen green beans. Keeping the Harvest is informative, fairly comprehensive and simple to follow. I'm buying it now so I'll be ready for next summer!
