REVIEW
Canning 101
A complete guide to pressure canning. It focuses on how to safely use a pressure canner and how to safely preserve low-acid foods. A variety of recipes for all skill levels. Acid, time, and temperature play a vital role in preservation and this book teaches you all you need to know. The process is clear with step-by-step instructions. The book is laid out well and easy to read and follow.
I have been wanting to try canning, especially after having years of abundant tomato crops. My mother used to can and one of my favorites was her chili sauce. She is much older with health and memory declining, so I can’t learn from her. While this book didn’t have a chili sauce recipe, it did make me feel prepared to start canning other things and hopefully by the time I go thru my mother’s recipes, I will find her chili sauce recipe. One of the many things I found very helpful was the essential tools & equipment section. I have nothing so I have to start from scratch. It will be an investment, but it will pay off in the long run.
A very comprehensive and detailed guide to pressure canning for beginners as well-established caners.
