This is a fantastic canning cookbook! I learned so much from it and am now genuinely excited for the canning season.

The book’s greatest strength is its brilliant design. The layout is both beautiful and incredibly intuitive, taking what is often presented as dense information—the science, safety procedures, troubleshooting—and making it clear and easily digestible. It is thorough without ever feeling overwhelming.

With a wonderful range of great recipes for all skill levels and gorgeous photography to inspire you, this is a great canning cookbook for every canner's shelf.

I learned how to make jams and use a water bath canner over a decade ago from a family friend so my understanding of how it all works is very basic. As I am getting older I want to start to expand on what I can make and do with my canner and this book is perfect for that goal. I love that this part understanding how canning works and different methods and part recipes. What I especially appreciated about the recipes is that you do not have to be a master cook/chef in order to do them. So often the recipes for these types of foods involve ingredients that are impossible to find or techniques that require training/experience. These recipes all sound delicious and I think I could actually make them. Two big thumbs up for this cookbook!
