Looking for a good book on canning. I'd like it to have some basic recipes too. Any suggestions? Any favorites?

The "Ball Blue Book" is the old standard, costs maybe 8 bucks or look online here: http://www.freshpreserving.com/
and click on "How to can". Lots of info.

Backwoods Home magazine puts out a couple canning books.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world." "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." --Mahatma Gandhi
"Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words." --Francis of Assisi.
"Family farms work when the whole family works the farm." -- Adam Klaus

Are you okay? You look a little big. Maybe this tiny ad will help:
