Resources
There are so many great resources out there for all different types of canning and canners. Because we like to try preserving an assortment of foods we use a number of different books.
At the top of my list is Bernardin’s Complete Book or the Big Book as I like to call it. I think it is a must have for every canner. It is an extensive guide to canning any type of food and is a helpful resource for the beginner as well as the more experienced canner. To follow in no particular order are a number of other books that we use on a regular basis. Although, lots of recipes will overlap in these books each one serves as a useful resource with that unique recipe that is sure to hit the spot!
