Thank you. I’m new to canning. I’d love to collect some of these books.

[@jamiedeer2674]

Thank you so much for showing the books!! Lots of great help on picking which books would work for me:)

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Happy canning!

[@elizabethinthemountains4433]

What a great list! Thank you!

[@marygallagher3428]

Great video!

[@deedeemooreco.2304]

Excellent, thank you! I just canned 16 pints of orange marmalade. I used combination of tangerine, navel and mandarin. Our trees are still full so I’ll can different recipes this weekend. And I’m thinking of Meyer lemon marmalade when I pick my lemons. I love your collection of canning books as I agree, each book has something specific and unique not in another one. My hope is to can some pesto for the freezer when my basil is ready. Oh my gosh, since I’m in SoCal produce and herbs are almost ready. Thank you again for your insight and inspiration and sharing your collection.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I'm envious. I'm looking out the window at snow. It will be quite awhile until I can can fruit fresh from the orchard.

[@fallenangelwi25]

I have it paused at 4 minutes in and I wanted to also recommend the big recipe book that Excalibur offers for their dehydrators!!!! It's a great preserving book!!!!!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Thanks for sharing!

[@joleaoshman8731]

Love these suggestions and bought a few of your recommendations.Wish there were more pressure cookers ones out there...I have several pressure cookers, my effort and desire is there...but I lose liquid...no matter what....🤔

[@classicrocklover5615]

LOVED this video! I'm weeding out my bookcases, and was just thinking of getting a canning book that's not Ball related!

[@schandler4958]

What if you only have one canning book? Which one would you choose?

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Probably the All New Ball Book of Canning but Mrs. Wheelbarrow's Practical Pantry would be a close second since I know the basics.

[@VelvetandToads]

Wow, this is so helpful, thanks! I’m going to see if I can find Mes Confitures in French here is Paris, and then order a couple of the others. It seems like there are a lot of sweet recipes. Which one would you recommend for more unusual savory dishes?

[@adm6785]

Where did you get your personalized canning binder? Was this a DIY project or is there a place to order? I absolutely LOVE the idea of storing my favorite recipes in something like that!

Is there any on non liquid foods,need dry foods like coffee,creamer,etc.

I'm not aware of any

[@tommywilliams5450]

love the video God bless and as always have a beautiful day

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

I have several of the same books and must say I also love the New Ball preserving book, it finally allows FRESH lime juice as an approved acid. I like a good lime flavor esp in my salsa, enchilada, salsa verde etc. I also saw a few of these books and thought i'd like to look them over...so I popped over to the online library and found a few such as the Amish Canning and the Pam River Cottage book. You have a proper library there!

[@massachusettsprepper]

You definitely have quite the collection of keening books. And I would say that is a fantastic resource to have on hand. You mentioned a lot of people just use the Internet but in any type of grid down or SHTF type situation you would not have the Internet and those guides could be worth their weight in gold. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Have a good weekeknd

[@blackdiamond3930]

I only started canning in November 2018. Like you said, once you can something, what do you make with it... that's my problem. I saw your other video where you showed the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Canning book in the binder, and bought it straight away. I've done nothing with it though. :/ Thank you for your videos, they've certainly helped me learn the do's and more importantly don'ts of canning. I've a lot to learn still, which I'm looking forward to. :)

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I'm going to make some videos soon on how to use what you can.

[@playinatlife5778]

Hi Trish - Where did you find the book? I've been looking for it. Thanks!

[@blackdiamond3930]

@@playinatlife5778 Hi, I got it off Amazon (Australia) but looking on there now it's no longer available as new. Places are selling it for over $300!! Insane!! :(

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Thank you for sharing. Do you have any idea when the "New" Ball book will be available again? Or, are they planning to publish an updated one? I don't want an e-book version. Nor, paying $78+ for a $17.98 (Walmart) hardcover, if they had it in stock. FWIW... Have quite a few older canning books, including my Mother's 1957 Ball Blue Book. Always enjoy collecting how-to books whether they're for my shop, garden or our kitchen. Big Thumbs Up on a personal canning binder.

[@lolajane1452]

I have looked everywhere trying to find the the "New" Ball book too that everyone has been recommending. I even tried contacting Ball but for some odd reason they no longer have it. Like you I'm not paying an outrageous price for a 17.98 book. Hoping someday I'll find it at a yard sale.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

It is available on Amazon used for $29.99 www.amazon.com/All-Ball-Book-Canning-Preserving/dp/0848746783/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=the+complete+ball+book+of+canning&qid=1581605479&sr=8-2

[@bethelle9099]

LOVE the kitty!!!!!!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Me too.

[@Carol-nv6py]

Here's another great preserving book. "Stocking Up" By Carol Hupping. The copyright is 1986, so I'm not sure it's available any longer. Thank you for the book reviews!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I'll check it out!

[@calstalk1675]

I have never canned….

[@lroche2164]

I absolutely love your channel. As a new preserver and canner I am learning so much. Thank you! I presently am reading “Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Practical Pantry” and was dismayed to see her using fresh lemon juice not bottled in her recipes. Are these recipes safe? I so loved this book. The USDA stresses the importance of using bottled juices for safety.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Yes, that book was written in 2015. I am not sure exactly when the recommendation to use only bottled lemon juice was issued. According to the Healthy Canning website: "For the record, respected home canning author Linda Ziedrich disputes the USDA’s view on the assured acidity of fresh lemon juice versus bottled. You may wish to review her analysis at : Real Lemon versus ReaLemon "

[@daniellemarceaux7937]

O my word serious these books are definitely are a great buy because I have found so many recipes that I definitely am going to try so thank you so much 😊 ☺ because I definitely will be busy I bought 3 of the books you have recmentioned and i but after I go to the bank I am going to get a few more so thank you so very much 😊 ☺ 🥰🥰I love them

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad you like them!

[@lolam.9291]

Thank you, but I wish you had reviewed each book a little more in depth. I mean, jams are one of the easiest things to can, if you like water bath canning and tons of sugar. I am more interested in pressure canning hearty recipes.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Favorite for pressure canning is Pressure Canning for Beginners and Beyond by Angie Schneider

[@Melissa-ed5uw]

[@m4dh4dd3r]

I loved your video on canning books. If you lost all of your canning books due to a fire and you could only afford to repurchase 5 books which 5 would you put in your new library?

[@PrepperPotpourri]

The All New Ball Book Of Canning And Preserving: Over 350 of the Best Canned, Jammed, Pickled, and Preserved Recipes Paperback - Illustrated, May 31, 2016

[@dinasalazar1552]

I would like a book in water bath canning no sugar added recipes or very low , is there one in the market...

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I have never read it, but there is a book: Canning and Preserving Without Sugar by Norma M. MacRae

[@michellefraze9987]

Thank you thank you Thank you - 2 years in my adventure of canning. This was much needed.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

You are welcome

[@deannamccambridge3446]

Thank you for reviewing so many books! I am about to start water bath canning.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Happy canning!

[@dottielange7983]

Thank you so much for sharing. I have several of these books and enjoyed seeing the others. My go to book for starting out was the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning. However, these other books certainly tell you how to use what you've canned. I'm very impressed with your choices.

[@Lornadoone72]

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experiences with canning💕

[@lodprice2343]

Making your own canning binder is a great idea. I have only been canning for a few years. I started with the “Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving” and over time I have purchased “So Easy to Preserve” by the Cooperative Extension/The University of Georgia, “Mrs. Wages Home Canning Guide & Recipes”, and most recently the ‘USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning”. Like you, I prefer to have a book on hand that I can reference as opposed to just using the Internet. I enjoyed you video and I am a first time viewer. I ordered “Blue Ribbon Preserves: Secrets to Award-Winning Jams, Jellies, Marmalades and More” as per your video. I am going to start on that binder. Thanks.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad you like the binder idea. Happy canning!

[@jennipettengill2434]

Such an awesome collection! I can get most of these from the library to preview before I buy. I just ordered a used copy of “Food in Jars Kitchen” because I love the first book! Thanks so much!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad you like them!

[@annah8380]

Thanks for sharing! I bought the older The Ball Guide to Preserving, is the new version mostly new recipes?

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Yes, there are more recipes

[@kimstewart4602]

I'm so glad i found your channel! I've been trying your recipes made with Krusty pancake mix and they love them. Have a wonderful day.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Stay safe :)

[@relaxandslumber970]

Thanks for sharing the canning books. This is so helpful to beginner like myself.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janjbowman]

I make my own freeze dried food with own hand made freeze dryer . There are so many ways to preserve your own food with out paying high prices from these kinds of companies .Patriot freeze dried food is good but just do it yourself and save yourself a ton of money .

[@PrepperPotpourri]

That is amazing!

[@growinggardensforfamily443]

Wow! Added them to my amazon wishlist. Thank you!!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kirstmlarson1]

I’m dropping everything and reorganizing my recipes by month. That’s just genius. Thanks for sharing all these books, Mrs Wheelbarrows is now on my Christmas list 😁

[@elizabethcope1502]

Kristen Wise I get a lot of my books from Thrift Books. Just ✔ prices on Amazon to make sure you get good deals. If you spend $10, ships free. I love Mrs. Wheelbarrow.
