Professional Review:

From the experts, the definitive book on home preserving.

Ball Home Canning Products are the gold standard in home preserving supplies, the trademark jars on display in stores every summer from coast to coast. Now the experts at Ball have written a book destined to become the "bible" of home preserving.

As nutrition and food quality has become more important, home canning and preserving has increased in popularity for the benefits it offers:

  • Cooks gain control of the ingredients, including organic fruits and vegetables
  • Preserving foods at their freshest point locks in nutrition
  • The final product is free of chemical additives and preservatives
  • Store-bought brands cannot match the wonderful flavor of homemade
  • Only a few hours are needed to put up a batch of jam or relish
  • Home preserves make a great personal gift any time of year

These 400 innovative and enticing recipes include everything from salsas and savory sauces to pickling, chutneys, relishes and of course, jams, jellies, and fruit spreads, such as:

  • Mango-Raspberry Jam, Damson Plum Jam
  • Crab Apple Jelly, Green Pepper Jelly
  • Spiced Red Cabbage, Pickled Asparagus
  • Roasted Red Pepper Spread, Tomatillo Salsa
  • Brandied Apple Rings, Apricot-Date Chutney

The book includes comprehensive directions on safe canning and preserving methods plus lists of required equipment and utensils. Specific instructions for first-timers and handy tips for the experienced make the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving a valuable addition to any kitchen library.

   Summary: Useful
It has a lot of interesting ideas, though obviously many of them are variations on the same thing. Pictures would make the book nicer, though I guess they are not as necessary as they would be in a normal cookbook.

 Rating 5   Written on September 2, 2008
   Summary: Fantastic book good recipes
This is my first book on just canning, and I must say I am very impressed. The recipes are easy to read, clear, and best of all the recipes turn out well. From this book so far I have made, peach butter, blueberry jam, garlic butter, Oktoberfest mustard, marina sauce, and put up crushed tomatoes. I have also used their recipe for fermented dill pickles and they are quite good. All of my attempts have turned out well, and jars sealed when I used their directions. There is one drawback, many of these recipes are available online on their website.

I really feel this is a terrific book to add to your library. The recipes are simple to read, and best of all they seem to be tried and true and they work well. I would definately buy this book if you are looking for a guide to canning, and I would visit their website if you just want to check out new recipes.

   Summary: peonypat
I live on a farm and my husband loves to garden as he is "semi" retired. We have both read this canning book from the Ball Jar company and have picked up some very healthy and handy ideas! I would recommend this book to experienced and new comers to the world of preserving our bounty!
