Query: Not The Best Choice

High points of this book include good safety notes, some basic charts and tips on easily peeling various fruits tucked throughout the pages. I was also pleased to see that it contained two canned soup recipes. On the other hand, the recipes were primarily chutneys, jams and other items that were neither unqiue nor particularly varied. I was extremely disappointed with the inclusion of modified food starch in the apple pie filling - isn't avoiding modified or unnatural ingredients one of the great motivations for canning to begin with? Regardless of your level of canning experience or what you're looking to put up, I suggest you skip this book and try one of the much better options available (Putting Food By or Ashley English's Canning & Preserving being excellent alternatives).Definitely on the short side, as well.
