Book Reviews of Canning & Preserving for Dummies
Book Review: I went from Burning Toast to Winning Blue Ribbons at The State Fair!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always fantasized about canning and preserving my own locally grown garden vegetables and fruits. One day on a lark of what my partner called "Pure Insanity" I bought a Water based canner and equipment to put my dreams into reality. I would have panicked had I not reviewed and purchased this book the day before.
In only a matter of a few hours I read the book from cover to cover and felt like an expert. Soon thereafter when I found a wonderful source of locally grown cucumbers I "canned" 8 pints of 'Bread and Butter pickles' from a recipe provided in this book. Three weeks later I was the recipient of a Blue Ribbon at a local fair for my "Prize Winning Recipe". I was astonished! They will never know the secret of my success was "The Dummies Guide" but I will never forget. I've since gone on to do Corn Relish, Apple Butter, Lime Pickles, and tonight I shall can Green Beans and Carrots.
This is the book that will bring success to the otherwise accident and disaster prone "cook". Don't start this hobby without it!

Canning & Preserving for DummiesI bought this book so I could learn the old art of preserving. I live in Maine and most of my neighbors have small farms and blueberry fields, so they offer me fresh fruits and vegetables all summer long, but I want to preserve them for those long, cold Maine winter nights.Hehehehehe. This book helped me preserve over 20 different fruits and vegetables and I love it. I now have most of my Xmas gifts all done.Book Review: A step-by-step guide to canning at home

Book Review: Great buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great it will help you if you don't know a thing about this or if you just need a little help. I had to buy this when my granny died and my mom was being selfish and wouldn't copy my grannys' how to's so I could learn how to do a few new things that I didn't get a chance to ask my granny before she passed. I think you should buy this. It thought me so much that I needed to know. My granny would be proud.Book Review: Can Can
Summary: 5 Stars
"Canning & Preserving for Dummies" was a quintessential "Dummies" book. I had never done anything remotely close to canning before and by the time I made my second batch of pickles I had a system in place and cut my time of processing by 50%. I even felt compfortable enough to look for recipes on the web and to purchase a canning recipes book. I would strongly recommend this book for canning neophytes.
