Preserving The Canning & Freezing Guide for All Seasons -- Book Review

 

Preserving The Canning & Freezing Guide for All Seasons by Pat Crocker is a great resource. It starts off with Preserving Basics on Home Canning Equipment and Methods & then has step by step instructions with pictures on both the Boiling Water Method & the Pressure Canner Method. There is also a section on freezing. Preserving The Canning & Freezing Guide for All Seasons is also divided into the season, Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter.

Within the Season section, this book is further divided into the categories, Fruit & Vegetable. Subsections for each of the Fruits & Vegetables are the following:  Good Preserving Varieties, Purchasing/Storing, Good With, Preparation & Canning Instructions. There is also information on whether the fruit or vegetable can be frozen or not.  After these sections are recipes focusing on a particular fruit or vegetable.  This makes it easy for you to utilize the seasonal fruits and vegetables.

All in all a fabulous book for both the beginner and experienced canner.  Now I am going to have to expand my canning equipment & invest in a pressure canner.
