This is a cute little book with some simple preserving recipes. Would be a good beginner book. Otherwise you can probably skip it.

Meh.. I honestly wasn't impressed by the book. It has some decent recipes but I have yet to even try any of them.

Good, but lacked a few things to be a great book. There were a couple of page references that were off (telling me to look at page 62 for an alternative method on page 62, for example). Also would have liked some alternatives to using corn syrup - can I substitute simple syrup?
