Absolutely the Best!

Customer Rating:
I have my mothers' old copy of this book she gave me about 25 years ago. Now she misses it so I bought her the updated copy on Amazon last year. There is not another canning/freezing book that holds a candle to this. Easy and fun to read, with the simplest and most concise instructions-you can't beat it. Tons of great recipes- I treasure this one.

Excellent Canning Cookbook

Customer Rating:
I have been using this book for 27 years and mine is just falling apart from all the use. I have 93-dozen jars and at the end of the season all of them are full and with the instructions in this book, my failure rate has been extremely low.

Thank God i found it

Customer Rating:
For 25 or more years I have been using this book, but last fall, while moving from Texas to NM the moving van was stolen with all our belongings stolen with it. 43 years of marriage gone. Now it's time to start my canning again and I needed my favorite book. No matter how many books I have purchased none compare with this one. Days of searching the net and now I can again enjoy my days in the kitchen.

My no-fail reference manual

Customer Rating:
I first found this book in a library over 25 years ago. I was amazed when the book store said they could order it. Since then it has become stained and the back is broken, but I always return to it. It's a definitive reference book for me. As many times as I have bought canning books since then, they always fall short of this book. The only thing I adjust is the amount of sugar in some of the recipes. If you can find it, buy it. And if you are tempted to lend it, I suggest you lend photocopied pages instead. I had quite a tussle getting it back from my best friend.

The best down-to-earth canning and freezing "bible".

Customer Rating:
I have used this book over 20 years for canning and freezing recipes. I especially enjoy that the book includes many vegetables and fruits that are not usually found in the newer books on the same subject. During the peak season, this book literally becomes my "bible".
