by United States Dept. of Agriculture
This book is a compendium of the USDA's research and tested recipes. It explains the scientific principles behind home canning , canning equipment, and the proper use of jars and lids. It is written by government folks, so it is pretty dry, but it is accurate. It includes recipes for fruit; tomatoes; vegetables; poultry, red meat, and seafood; fermented foods and vegetables; and jams and jellies and contains updates based on research in the last 20 years for canning safer and better quality food at home.
The Kerr book is another long time favorite! Most people grew up with either the Ball Blue Book or the Kerr Home Canning Book on their mother's cookbook shelf! There are two versions of the book - check out both to see which is currently available. Click on the link at left to see more information and how to order it for the best price!
Keep in mind, the Kerr book hasn't been updated since 1982, so the Ball Blue book is a better choice
