Williams-Sonoma get extra points for all of the lush photography that accompanies the recipes within this book. They're a little light on instructions, so if you're a novice canner, check out the Ball Blue Book of Canning first to get comfortable with the basic steps of canning before diving in. Also, they don't use commercial pectin in most of their jelly/jam recipes, so be prepared for longer cooking times. Otherwise, their recipes are geared to a somewhat more sophisticated palate (Meyer Lemo...more
I love canning. I love the entire process – even the standing over the hot boiling pots in the height of an August afternoon. I love the jewel-like colors of jams and jellies and they sit it the cupboard waiting for the depths of winter to be cracked open. I love that really satisfying pop when a jar seals.
I grew up canning with my mother and grandmother, and now I find myself returning to re-learn canning among other skills. Canning is something that should never go out of style. It’s fun and b...more

I wasn't too pleased with this book, as although it offered recipes for canning and preserving, the volume of them were limited. The majority of the recipes are for things to do with the items you preserved. For example, the recipe for strawberry jam is given, but then 5 others are given on how you can cook with the strawberry jam you made. What was more annoying to me is that the strawberry jam recipe contained almost the same amount of cherries in it as the recipe called for strawberries. (Tha...more
I love all of the photography and the instructions are very precise and clear. I tend to sway more towards basic recipes that have ingredients I would keep on hand, but every once in a while it's nice to try something different like the peach BBQ sauce which turned out amazing and made great Christmas gifts!

I love to can!! Probably because it reminds me of hours spent with m mom "putting up" peaches and pears. This book is beautiful - great pictures and information, as well as fun, unique canning recipes, as well as companion recipes to utilize the canned goods. What a great addition to my library!

Beautiful book with illustrations for all of the preserves. However, many of the recipes are standards that you can find in pretty much any canning book. Lots of the fruit butters call for cow butter, which I find to be pretty gross. I like this book more as a coffee table book than an actual recipe book.
