- BALL Complete Book of Home Preserving
- This book is great for beginners or those with little experience in canning - especially pressure canning.
Lots of recipes and instructions though a little higher-priced than I would have thought.
For the experienced canner there is little in this book that you can't find online with a little effort through various recipe websites or other information resources.
