Truly the best canning book for yummy recipes!

I love this canning book SO much! It has practical recipes, tasty and always a hit! I have several other canning books and while I enjoy recipes here and there from those books- I find myself reaching for this book more often than the others. The simple fruit jam recipe, and the old Times Pickles are two of my absolute favorites!
