 Out of date. Significant changes made in 2009Jun 28, 2010
By Anna Sea Green
"amazon fan"
This USDA publication has been updated in 2009 and the one for sale was published 1994. After the fact, I received UDSA, NIFA, Agriculture Information Bulletin No. 539 listing significant changes in every one of the seven sections pertaining to food safety &/or quality. This rendered the entire book unfit to use as a researched based reference. Knowing that the version I was purchasing was the 1994 version, and I did not realize the differences until after the book arrived, I ended up throwing out the book because I did not feel it was safe to even sell it at a yard sale. I have since acquired the 2009 version of the same book through my local County Extension Service Office.

 Great buy!May 02, 2009
By Mandy
This book was just what I was looking for. Not only does it have great recipes, but also more detailed information for first time canners than any of the other canning books!

 This is the 1994 edition!Feb 11, 2010
By Heather F
By the Publishing Date (2008), I assumed that this was a newer edition. I wasn't expecting a reprint of the 1994 USDA Bulletin #539 - 14 years older than the Publishing Date. This should be made clear in the book's information.

 Very Technical Resource For Home CanningDec 06, 2008
By Jskell911
"Jskell911"
While I did enjoy reading this book, I found it to be quite technical for a beginner such as myself. The recipes were limited and the proportions were huge.
I liked the standards they provided for food safety, but would have loved to have seen some ideas for a smaller family like my own.
