Can anyone recommend a book with canning recipes ??
i just canned a batch of 76 cans of green beans and have at least that again to do by the end of this week. But then the other stuff will be ready to pick, like corn and bunch of berries tomatoes, squashes , peppers and a host of other things. I want to can a bunch this season and not put all my eggs in one basket by just freezing stuff. The plan is to be able to walk right by the produce section of the grocery store and have most of what we want on hand.

If do facebook is a group on there called rebel canners. The wife is a big fan of them.

X3. The older ones imo are better. The newer ones are a bit sissyfied and don't include a lot of things to can.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Old Ball Books are the good ones , there's others like Amish canning , and some that could be good also , join a group and get some feed back on them .

Thought it might help w/o having to buy the book.

Well I ordered the Ball Complete Book Of Home Preserving and it should be here on Monday. Till then I am on familiar turf as far as canning goes with a whole lot more green beans to do. We got 15 gallons to of the two top rows I planted early so far with easily another 15 in those two rows. Then I have a couple of rows of a different variety that I planted later. They should start to produce in a couple of weeks or so. Got to get a bunch more jars and lids for this season. Only had about 100 or so last season and will probably triple that this year with all the stuff we are going to can this time around. I have booted Mr Zuckerberg from my social media, so Facebook is a non starter for me. But thank you good folks for pointing me in the right direction.

My wife and I do a lot of canning.When it comes to canning corn,,I have tried about every gadget under the sun to remove the kernals from the cob. Electric Fillet knife is by far the quickest and easiest way. Just a heads up for when you do your corn.

Next will be the space and shelves to hold the bounty. If your wife is anything like mine you can NOT build them too heavy duty. Tell them until you are blue in the face about weight capacity is along the lines of the woman getting over drafts because she still has checks in her checkbook so she can't be over drawn.

Tell them until you are blue in the face about weight capacity is along the lines of the woman getting over drafts because she still has checks in her checkbook so she can't be over drawn. We use old gravity fed Coca Cola racks like this. Meant for holding 2 liters but hold quart jars great. Work like a charm and can be moved around easily. We have 8 or 10 of them

The best I saw was a neighbor that had a basement and they had taken the space under the front porch and lined it floor to ceiling with 2x4 shelving screwed to the cinder block.

Scuba1, the only book you'll need is now in something like it's 5th edition. It is called "Putting Food By", by Janet Greene and Ruth Hertzberg. Amazon has gobs of copies. EXCELLENT book.
