Win a Ball Complete (BBB)

Jun
12


Available today is another copy of the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. I have this book, and love it. It has all the beginner instructions and recipes from the basic BBB, but it’s expanded to include lots of unique gourmet recipes to appeal to the advanced canner, too. Need it on your kitchen shelf?

  59. contentedcat says:

    I’d love a copy of the Complete Book of Home Preserving! Last weekend I decided to pick some of our fruit from our Nanking Cherry bushes since it was the first time they’ve given us cherries since we put them in. The birds have been eating some of them, along with our currants (which was the intention when we planted them), but the cherries were so good I made three pints of jam with the ones I picked. Hand pitting was laborious, but the end product was well worth it!

  60. superdiva3000 says:

    Thanks for all your great recipes. I especially love the homemade hot pockets with grandmother bread!

    Please include me in the BBB drawing. :fairy:

  61. erajala says:

  62. KrazE says:

    I would absolutely love a copy! I used to do a bit of canning many years back, but I didn’t know very much about it (I still don’t) and want to start canning this year out of both interest and necessity; being laid off for more than 6 months now really kicks the budget in the butt!.
