RE: NUMBER ONE CANNING MISTAKE MADE BY NEW CANNERS!
Excellent advice and spot on!
Don't forget about the library, if money's tight. That way you can give a couple different books a 'test drive'. Some books are easier to follow/understand than others.
Also check out your local agricultural extension office. They are a good resource for classes, if you'd prefer some hands on experience with a mentor close by.
I was lucky and grew up with a great-aunt and grandmother that canned all sorts of stuff. Dang, do I miss those bread-n-butter pickles...
I forgot the library we are so rural here we just order the canning books we liked.
Makes sense! Besides, the books tend to get stained and beat up just being in the vicinity of the work area. I'd hate to see a borrowed book damaged.
I was just thinking that getting set up - initially - for canning can get expensive. This way a newbie will end up with the correct book that's effective in the long run - that they can stain, splatter, and mark up to their heart's content.
