Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving Paperback – January 1, 2020

Many years ago, I learned the art and science of canning with the help of the Ball Blue Book. Somewhere along the way, I lost that printed book. So when I wanted to get back into canning, I was delighted to find that I could get a Kindle version. This edition of the Ball Blue Book provides essential information on how to can safely and offers a nice selection of recipes that have been tested to make sure they meet food safety standards.One thing you should know before buying this Kindle book is that I and others have found that we are unable to view this ebook using the Kindle Cloud Reader or using Amazon's e-ink readers, i.e. Kindle, Paperwhite and Oasis. However, I have been able to view it with various Fire tablets and with the Kindle app on a variety of computers, tablets and phones. So I'm still glad to have this ebook, though I was surprised to learn that there are some Kindle books that can't be read on the device Amazon now calls the Kindle.

I ordered several canning/ preserving cookbooks this year. This one didn’t disappoint. I would recommend.

I purchased this book awhile back and keep it with all my canning supplies. I make notes in it I have spilled on but it’s ok it is my manual. Any questions or recipes for preserving food is in here. This purchase was my second book as I bought it as a gift for my daughter she can start her own canning story.

It showed up and went right to working

I bought this to replace an older version of this same book. It did all that and more. This book not only has all the trusted canning recipes but it also has cooking recipes to enjoy!

I took a canning class at our local extension office and the teacher said not to use off the wall canning books as the recipes may not have been proven to work. She said get the Ball blue book as everything has been updated, tested and the directions were easy to follow. I’m 67 and am still learning how to can properly, not like mom used to do from knowledge in her head from her mother.

Bought this as a gift, I have one also. Great resource for canning and preservation. Has recipes for popular items like pea soup, beef soup, and veg soup, jams, and such. Good info for beginners in the beginning section of the book.

Great gift for canners

I'm a beginner canner and this was my very first book for recipes on canning. I found it very informative about the processes and safety and the recipes we're ready to read and follow. Highly recommend!

It is a very useful book but this is how I received it which is frustrating. The book has poor quality pages so flimsy it's really not worth the money

Used for preserving produce took a long time to arrive

Pour la mise en conserve très bien expliquer

I haven’t dove into making any of the recipes yet but I have began canning the basics from this book. It’s great for those starting out and learning about canning plus, the recipes are delicious!
