Home Canning Made Simple. Great job making home canning accessible to even the most novice of beginners. Simple no-nonsense approach that takes us through the whole process, from choosing our gear (and our jars) to actually creating pie filling, fruit sauce, pickled fruit and pickled vegetables, various salsas and tomato sauces, condiments (think relish, chutney, ketchup, et al), and other delicious treats. More than 60 recipes in all. - Linda L. Richards
