Review: Only Canning Book You Will Need - This book is the only one you will need for canning... it has tons of pictures and step by step instructions... so good!!!! Review: Easy Peasy - The title says it all. No drama canning. If you like to work smart, not hard, this book is yours. Lots of visuals. Some of the tried and true recipes, some different ones. I made the recipe using fresh cranberries in syrup. It's best not to overcrowd the jar with solids, lots of pectin in cranberries, so you want it to be loose, not tight. ( I found out by doing it twice). I have canned up whole cherries, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, etc...but never saw one for whole fresh cranberries. Perfect for fall/winter gift giving that won't break the bank, great to pour on top of ice cream, pound cake, yogurt. There's a simple BBQ sauce using ketchup, not tomatoes as most BBQ canning recipes need, making it very "basic" and easy and fast. I had at least three very large containers of ketchup from the big box store, so I was glad to have a way to use some of it up! I made it and used it w/o canning it to decide if I wanted to can up more of it, and i will next time now that I've sampled it. In fact, you can also use the cranberry recipe right away too w/o canning it, so it's very flexible for now or for storage to eat later on. You can take the BBQ sauce and use "as is" like we did by coating chicken wings and ribs in the smoker. Next time I will gussy it up by adding to it other flavors before using it from the jar, maybe adding some chipotle in adobo. I like lemon anything, there's a lemon jelly in here, easy peasy too. Like I said, back to basics. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,446 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Art Encyclopedias #9 in Canning & Preserving (Books) #153 in Culinary Arts & Techniques (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,592 Reviews | ## Images ![Ball Canning Back to Basics: A Foolproof Guide to Canning Jams, Jellies, Pickles, and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717CRP7ScLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only Canning Book You Will Need *by N***A on July 22, 2026* This book is the only one you will need for canning... it has tons of pictures and step by step instructions... so good!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Peasy *by J***E on August 11, 2017* The title says it all.
