This is yet another book for the home canner with a wide assortment of recipes. Canning instructions are included as is a section on freezing and drying foods.

[Scott Lupo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Informational more than instructional. Briefly describes how to store fruits, vegetables, and herbs using several methods including canning (jarring), pickling, drying, freezing, root cellar, and some others.
