Joy of Cooking: All About Canning & Preserving (Joy of Cooking All About Series)

Celebrating the traditional culinary art of canning and preserving, a collection of recipes, both old and new, for jams, jellies, preserves, conserves, marmalades, and pickled, salted, and dried meat and vegetables, features a complete instruction manual, filled with a wealth of canning and preserving tips and techniques as well as stunning photographs. 75,000 first printing.

This latest batch of spin-off cookbooks from the All New All Purpose Joy of Cooking includes one on a topic that was not covered in that revision. The chapter on canning and preserving, much of which was written by cookbook author Sylvia Thompson, unfortunately didn't make it into the 1997 revision because of space limitations, so it's nice to have it appear as its own book. Like the other "All About" titles, and unlike the big Joy, these all include color photographs, as well as additional material not included in the revision. Canning & Preserving is recommended for all collections on the topic; the other titles are for most libraries.
