Food that last forever Includes links to 50 Healthy Mexican Recipe Videos Preserving food to last through the cold months or packaging or bottling it to travel long distances has long been a concern. Napoleon stated, "An army travels on its stomach." He was referring to the problems involved with transporting sufficient food to keep his men fed. The Napoleonic soldiers were often hungry, thanks to the difficulty of transporting fresh food. Just to show that he was serious about solving this problem, he offered a reward of 12,000 francs to anyone who could come up with a solution.

I am a true beginner canner. I remember helping my mom can vegetables and fruits from the farm, but I never did any canning as an adult. Now I am 64 years old and last year I canned tomatoes for the first time ever. This year I canned 50 quarts of tomatoes and I can't wait for winter when I will open them and they will be SOOOOO good.

This book had a lot of information but it wasn't quite what I expected. What I expected was to learn how to can fruits and vegetables from A-Z. What I got was a book that told a lot about canning pickles and using a pressure canning cooker.

Since I don't have a pressure cooker and remember my mom hot and cold packing her vegetables, that's what I needed to know. It did, however, have the instructions for hot packing in the water bath method.

Perhaps next year I will can pickles (sweet and dill) but this year it's just going to be tomatoes, green beans, and maybe peaches.

This cookbook was easy to understand and the instructions were simple. There is a section for what spices to use which I found helpful though I know my mom did not use some of those spices.

I found it to be a useful cookbook with easy-to-understand recipes.

Just what I needed to remind me that summer will come again, and I will have a garden, and I will start canning again. Easy to understand, and full of good advice.

A easy book to read and learn how to can vegetables different ways. Also give the recipe how to make the refrigerator pickles and not have to can them.

History of canning

This book has a lot of history on canning. I would have liked more recipe. This book would be good for someone who wants to know who invented canning.

It seems too short to be “a-to-z”, but it is a handy little resource.

I got the free Kindle version, and while I learned a few things, I wouldn't say this is the "A to Z" book on the topic.
