Updated Ball® Food Preservation Book

Ball Complete Book of Home PreservingThe Ball® Complete Book of Home Preserving has been in print since 2006. It is now updated and will be available in May 2021.

One change is with any recipe that used fresh lemon juice, now uses bottle lemon juice. For home canning, bottled lemon juice has a consistent acid content. Fresh lemon juice acidity can vary which can lead to unsafe canned foods.

The new book also has some new recipes but also some recipes removed. This book has over 400 recipes and is a good companion to the traditional Ball® Blue Book.
