Hi! I'm going to give canning a try this year. I've always wanted to, but never had the time till now. Are there any good books to help get me going, or any tips I may need to get going?

start by searching google. just type in canning tomatos, canning corn, whatever, and you can gather a bunch of info that way.

Yes, buy the BBB and keep it handy. I think it is just as quick to refer to the book than the internet. Once you familiarize yourself with the basic canning wheather it be water bath or pressure cooker, then you can venture outside the box. You will be glad you did it. It is rewarding. Hardly a day goes by here in my kitchen without popping a lid off a jar of something. Today is Speghetti sauce. Yesterday was beef stock and more.

There are a lot of canners on this forum to help with a variety of recipes and or questions you may have.

Join the canning club on BYC!
 
stop by your older neighbors home when she cans and help and then you will see it isn't all that complicated... at least that's what I did.
 
Ball's Blue Book. but get 2, 1 to use to look through and the other take the pages out of it and put into a binder with page protectors for when you are cooking and need to look at the recipe (makes for easy page cleaning). if i had done this to begin with i wouldn't have to buy the second book!
 
I agree Ball Blue Book....but..our extension office has several free booklets on canning..also at one time they gave canning workshops..you may want to check with yours.
