Ball Blue Book of Preserving
By
Alltrista Consumer Products - 2004
If you are going to make jam, you need to have this. I'm new at jam making. I have some other books with more elaborate recipes, but I keep going back to this for basic information, ratios, instructions, etc. It covers pretty much every item you might want to preserve, with nothing elaborate or fancy.
It's not expensive, it's thin so it won't take up too much space on the bookshelf, and it will get abused. It's an essential reference.
