Ball's Complete Book of Home Preserving:400 Delicious and Creative Recipes

Home canning puts the pleasure of eating

natural, delicious produce at your fingertips

year-round. Preserving food in mason jars

might sound old-fashioned, but it is as

modern and practical as the latest health

food trend or gourmet creation - and it's

really quite simple! Home canners enjoy

the rewards of numerous homemade meals

and snacks, created from just one preserving

session. When you preserve food at home,

you create products that save you time in

day-to-day food preparation, a real blessing

given today's hectic lifestyles. Individual

home-preserved jars can be opened and

served as is, or used to simplify on-the-spot

meal and snack preparation.
