Description
When we first published this extensive and informative book about both growing and canning your own food, we were amazed how quickly they flew off our shelves. And after 11 years of this fantastic book being in print, it still is one of our readers’ favorites. Topics include: Gardening basics, Canning supplies, Canning basics and safety, Growing fruit, Home canning high acid foods, Growing and canning tomatoes, Pickles, relishes, sauces, and salsas, Growing and canning vegetables, and Raising and canning meats.
Want a meal in a hurry? Jackie gives recipes for “Meals-in-a-jar.” There’s no point in having tons of stored foods if you don’t know what to do with them all. Jackie provides some of her best tried and true favorite recipes at the end of this big, popular book. (We at Self-Reliance Publications can attest to how delicious Will’s blackberry cheesecake is!) This book makes a terrific gift for anyone who wants to learn more about canning and preparing food that they have grown or raised themselves.

I purchased this book when it was first offered. It is my go to book for all my canning. I have gifted this book to two of my friends for Christmas. My husband and I first started following Jackie when she did articles for Backwoods Home and have followed her family’s journey throughout the years.

I’ve canned my entire life, starting very young, standing on a stool peeling peaches. I’m now 71, and because of Jackie and her artickes in Backwoods Home and this book, have canned, and still do, nearly everything. We are secure knowing our shelves are full. This is by far, the best canning book for instructions, safety and variety. I’ve purchased and given this book away to many canning friends. Thank you and happing canning.
