I think I want a hard back and was looking into blue ball but there seems to be different versions. I only see soft back. I may go into a books store instead of looking on line.
I have the ball blue book its pretty good one, but my mom says the Kerr canning book is the best. She has an antique one but they still republish it.
I have the "Ball Blue Book' but I have also heard that there is a "Canning and Preserving for Dummies" book that I am going to try and purchase because it seems there are more recipes in that one. Not sure if any of them come in hardback and if so they will probably be vintage ones that will cost big $$$
I have Preserving the Harvest that i bought from MMH when i bought chicks several years ago. It's one of my Most used and loved books. It has awesome canning recipes as well as freezing, dehydrating etc
I like the updated Ball canning book. Martha Stewart has some good recipes if you don't mind looking online.
"The Ball Blue book" is great and I also love "They Joy of Jams, Jellies and other Sweet Preserves" and "Blue Ribbon Preserves".
