Canning, Jams, Jellies and More

[pumpkingrl]

I am interested in either recipes or cookbooks for beginners who want to make jams, jellies and preserves. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

One of my favorites, for basic information, is the 1973 version of "Better Homes & Gardens" Canning cookbook. It gives lots of great information.

Ball has a guide they'll send you for $5.00. Very extensive. www.homecanning.com is their canning site.

I also like Helen Witty's Good Stuff Cookbook. While actually a book about making yummies for your pantry, it has some of the best preserves that are far from ordinary.

We use Kerr's Canning booklet, Mrs. Wage's New Home Canning Guide, and also canning instructions available from the University Extension service.
