I really like this guide to canning
I've been teaching myself how to pressure can, and this book gives lots of great recipes and tips.

One unique aspect about this book, that I have not seen addressed in other books on canning, is the idea of canning leftovers for future meals.
You know how you can double or triple a recipe and freeze the extras? You can do the exact same but can the extras so that you have healthy shelf stable meals! Brilliant!

"The Prepper's Canning Guide" by Daisy Luther is an excellent guide to help those interested in preparedness start to save money and build a supply of healthy and delicious canned foods! There are many reasons you should can your own food. Canning enables you to preserve your garden spoils and eat healthy, home-grown foods all year long. You can also buy fresh in-season foods and preserve them for later use, which saves money.  Canned foods are not affected by power outages, so you won't lose all your food if your freezer doesn't work. It's also much less expensive than buying freeze-dried foods, and canned foods don't require, much, if any, additional water to prepare. As the foods are already cooked, all you have to do is heat and eat. 

As a prepper myself for many years, I have a nice, full pantry. I bought a water bath canner several years ago, and have some jars and lids. But canning always seemed a little mysterious and daunting, so not having any friends or family members to teach me, I never actually tried it. This book has changed my mind and has made me reconsider my plans. It covers all of the safety issues and gets into the specifics of both water bath and pressure canning. There are lots of useful tips like "12 ways to use homemade jam that don't involve toast" and recipes for condiments, jams, fruit, vegetables, meats, soups & stews, even mouth-watering main dishes like chicken cacciatore, Irish brisket and potatoes, beef burgundy, and pot roast. The appendix is chocked full of quick references for canning times, food preparation guidelines, and volume and weight conversions. Written by a prepper for other preppers, this book condenses years of experience into easy to follow instructions that make canning your own food safe and convenient. I highly recommend this book to both new and experienced preppers who are interested in saving money, building their supply of food, and becoming more self-sufficient. I received a copy of this release from the publisher for review purposes.

I cannot tell you how valuable this book is for either a beginner canner OR an experienced one! I canned everything when I was younger and learned from my grandmother. After the kids grew up and now with the economy the way it is - I have gone back to canning! Recipes are excellent! First cookbook I actually READ their sections especially for the altitude, processing times, their experiences and hints. I purchased it as a book for once and not the kindle edition. I love making my notes as well in this wonderful addition to my favs to go to!

Thank you Daisy!

So many recipes and practical tips that I'm excited to use in my own canning journey! Plus, I love the author's humor. One example (a recipe for pickled red onions) involves step 1 of chopping the onions, and step 2 simply says "cry." A cookbook with excellent recipes that can also make me literally laugh out loud is a keeper. :)

not just for preppers

Great overall canning book to start simple. Pressure and water bath. I read this as we want to build an emergency supply due to hurricanes being so prolific in our area.

I received a Goodreads Giveaway copy. There are a lot of interesting things to try in this book. Since getting into canning I've found a lot of books to only go over pickling and jams. I really appreciate this book for the broad range of recipes.
