Synopsis

Every recipe tested. Every altitude printed. Nothing locked behind a QR code.

Water bath canning is the easiest way to start preserving, but most beginner canning books pad a thin recipe list with pep talks, skip the altitude adjustments, and leave you guessing whether that salsa is actually safe. The Boiling-Water Canning Bible fixes all three.

Written for complete beginners and for home canners who want one reference they can trust at the stove, it explains why each step matters, so the rules finally make sense. All 50 recipes are built on tested procedures from the USDA and the National Center for Home Food Preservation, in plain English.

Inside you’ll find:

• 50 tested recipes, one per page: jams and jellies, pickles and relishes, tomatoes and salsas, fruits, pie fillings and juice
• Processing times for every altitude, printed on each recipe page
• US and metric measures, by weight and by volume, so you can shop straight from the page
• Clear diagrams of the jar, the canner and the process, plus a 12-step method to follow at the stove
• 15 problems solved: runny jam, soft pickles, failed seals, siphoning, floating fruit and more
• 53 beginner FAQs, master processing charts, batch records and a seasonal canning calendar
