Rating:  - The Dummies Series for regular people
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.
Rating: - Great for beginners
If you are thinking of canning summer's bounty, this is a great place to start. Step by step basic instructions on how to thrill and not kill your friends and family with home canned goods.
Rating:  - unsatisfactory

in it.
Rating: - Great buy!
This product is great it will help you if you don't know a thing about this or if you just need a little help. I had to buy this when my granny died and my mom was being selfish and wouldn't copy my grannys' how to's so I could learn how to do a few new things that I didn't get a chance to ask my granny before she passed. I think you should buy this. It thought me so much that I needed to know. My granny would be proud.
