My Review:
The Amish have a knack for taking plain and simple living and making it very attractive to an Englisher. Georgia Varozza's latest book The Amish Canning Cookbook is just that. It takes canning something as plain and simple that seems an arduous task and gives it to you straight forward and easy to understand.
The author has politely gone through and chosen several items to inform us of and explain in relation to the subject and the ways of the Amish in connection to it. Ms. Varozza gives you a brief history on canning. As every good canner will tell you, you will need a list of things to get you started, this list is included in the book. The author takes into consideration that you just may be new to all of this. For example, did you know that there are two different methods of canning, one being the water bath canning method and the other being the pressure canner method?
There are many aspects to canning that can be learned and used for years and generations to come. Recipes are included, which is a great help to those of us just starting out. You will not only learn to can vegetables or learn to make jams and jellies but you will also learn how to can different types of meats. The ideas and possibilities are endless. And what was also helpful; that was included in the book, was a whole chapter dedicated to the what went wrong crowd, if your attempt at this didn't go quite as expected.
The author has thought of everything you could possibly need and then some in the hopes of being a help to you and your family.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge from Harvest House Publishers for my honest review.
