Put 'em Up!




Check it out from your library, like I did, but let me tell you, you're going to want to own this new canning book! A sister library owns this book so I borrowed it from there, but I'm going to order one for my library and myself asap.

The first 99 pages is all "how to can" type stuff. Great to brush up on for current canners and perfect for newbies.

I love how this book is broken down into food such as 7 pages with just apple recipes. There are canning, pickling, and drying recipes. There's also several things that I don't see in any of my other canning books such as apple brandy, drunken cherries, and spiced pear vodka. Yes, it has alcohol recipes! Don't pretend you aren't ecstatic about that! I can totally see this book being right along side my trusty favorite next year as I prepare for the 2011 fair. Cantaloupe pickles?! Heck yes! I hate cantaloupe, but this book has so many fairly odd recipes that I know I'm going to have to make for the fair sooner or later. If all of that doesn't make you want to buy this book let me leave you with 2 words...lemon curd.
