- Great for canning vegetables
We are planning to use this product a lot this summer for canning fresh veggies from the garden which will help on the cost of our grocery bills.We are happy we purchased it.
Rating: - a must have
As a first time canner, I needed a guide that I could trust. This book helped a great deal.
Rating: 
- Outdated guidelines - needs to be revised again
1999 publication/revision date is getting too old given the USDA 2004 and 2006 revised guidelines that are not addressed in this edition.This book needs to be updated for safety purposes and should be used with care.Those new to canning would be better served by either of the updated Ball publications or reviewing the current guidelines published by NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation) available online.

My garden has been producing fruit and vegetables more this year than it has in years past.I decided to bottle as much as I could and wanted to be sure I was doing things correctly.I purchased this book and it was delivered within the time frame it promised.The book provided me the confidence to continue on, which was what I was wanting to hear.
