From the experts at Jarden Home Brands, makers of Ball canning products,
comes the first truly comprehensive canning guide created for today's
home cooks. This modern handbook boasts more than 350 of the best
recipes ranging from jams and jellies to jerkies, pickles, salsas, and
more-including extender recipes to create brand new dishes using your
freshly preserved farmer's market finds or vegetable garden bounty.
Organized by technique, The All New Ball Book of Canning and
Preserving covers water bath and pressure canning, pickling,
fermenting, freezing, dehydrating, and smoking. Straightforward
instructions and step-by-step photos ensure success for beginners, while
practiced home canners will find more advanced methods and inspiring
ingredient twists.
Thoroughly tested for safety and quality by thermal process engineers at
the Fresh Preserving Quality Assurance Lab, recipes range from
much-loved classics -- Tart Lemon Jelly, Tomato-Herb Jam, Ploughman's
Pickles -- to fresh flavors such as Asian Pear Kimchi, Smoked
Maple-Juniper Bacon, and homemade Kombucha. Make the most of your
preserves with delicious dishes including Crab Cakes garnished with
Eastern Shore Corn Relish and traditional Strawberry-Rhubarb Hand Pies.
Special sidebars highlight seasonal fruits and vegetables, while handy
charts cover processing times, temperatures, and recipe formulas for
fast preparation.
Lushly illustrated with color photographs, The All New Ball Book of
Canning and Preserving is a classic in the making for a new generation
of home cooks.
