Beginner's Guide to Canning: 90 Easy Recipes to Can, Savor, and Gift

Save Seasonal Flavors for Your Pantry

A basket of fresh produce is a good reason to learn an old-fashioned kitchen skill. Whether you’re filling your first jars or returning to canning after a few years away, Diane Devereaux’s Beginner’s Guide to Canning helps you get started. Begin with a small batch canning primer that explains the equipment, ingredients, and fundamental rules of safe preserving, then explore both water bath and pressure canning.

With 90 step-by-step recipes, you’ll find plenty of ways to put seasonal produce to use, from Low-Sugar Berry Jam and Dilly Beans to Apple-Peach Butter and Simple Spaghetti Sauce. There are recipes for vegetables, soups, pickles, and more, plus a whole chapter devoted to homemade treats for giving. Keep the harvest on your pantry shelves and share a little of your kitchen’s bounty with family and friends.
