Today I have another copy of You Can Can!: A Visual Step-by-Step Guide to Canning, Preserving, and Pickling, with 100 Recipes. While this book does a great job–and a very visual job (lots of step-by-step photos)–of the basics, it also includes some deliciously unique recipes like Cajun Watermelon Relish (with hot peppers! wow, hot and sweet!) and Brandied Cranberry-Orange Marmalade (sounds like a perfect holiday gift recipe!). And I’m pretty sure I need some Brandied Honey-and-Spice Pears (sounds like it would be awesome over pound cake). I need some pears now. You?
It’s a Ball Blue Book Project day! Today’s Ball Blue Book is sponsored by Vanessa Zumwalt in honor of Evelyn Lamont and Evelyn Lot.
For a chance to win: Leave a comment on this post and let me know you want it. You can just put (BBB) at the end of your comment or otherwise note that you want to be in the draw. One winner will be drawn by random comment number to receive a copy of You Can Can. Eligible entry cut-off is midnight Eastern (U.S.) time tonight (March 13). This post will be updated with the winner by 9 a.m. Eastern (U.S.) time tomorrow (March 14). Return to this post to claim your book if your name is drawn (or check the BBB Winners List).
Find out more about the Ball Blue Book Project and become a sponsor.
NOTE: You must be registered to comment. If you’re not registered, you can register here. If you’re already registered but not logged in, go here to log in.
UPDATE 03/14/12: The winning comment number, drawn by random.org, is comment #11, Zaduzbina. Email me at [email protected] with your full name and address for shipping!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED TO ENTRY.

Please put my name in the drawing for the book. I thought it was kind of a sign since my daughter is expecting a baby girl in four weeks and her name is Evelyn and the book is offered in honor of two Evelyns!
