Rating: - Excellent
I enjoy canning and preserving and saving food for later. This book enables me to do all of that safely. There are recipes for using what you have put up so you don't wonder how to use the ten jars of pickles you have made (for example). This is a useful book. Now when I luck into a great sale on fruits or veggies or we have a bumper crop in our garden I can figure out what to do with it.

Enjoy.
