The Everything Canning and Preserving Book: All you need to know to enjoy natural, healthy foods year round (Everything (Cooking)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A lot of times when you pick up a canning book it seems to have all the same, worn out recipes. This one is completely different! I am so inspired to go into my kitchen and start making gifts for friends, let alone canned goods for my family.
Sure there are a few takes on the classics (like bread and butter pickles) but then you find recipes like:
- Chrysanthemum soup (and other edible petal recipes)
- caramelized red onion relish
- Asian vinaigrette
- Bourbon mustard
- Watermelon pickles
and even homemade salami! There's so much more that this list hardly does the book justice.
For people who want to know what's truly IN their food, and who want to save money by buying in bulk this book is an incredibly useful resource. I had gone looking for something that could teach me what my grandmother knew, but also give me safe guidelines and great inspiration -- this book does all three!
I've already made many blends and find the directions easy to follow and the results very successful.

Canning and Preserving For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read this cookbook cover to cover, sampled some recipes, and I'm impressed! Karen Ward took all the guess work and concerns I had out of both canning and preserving. The balance of taste in her recipes is extraordinary. Her Pear Chutney's the best I've ever had (and I've had plenty). My husband adores her bread and Butter Pickles! A great cookbook to have on hand to make holiday food gifts, too.
