Welcome Angi,
We have been canning for more than 40 years and we love your book. I would recommend everyone to read the sample as I have to see the quality of your work. I would recommend buying quality equipment, as Angi has recommended in her book, the cost is very little if you use them for many years. I like the detail about brand and sourcing of the equipment. The detail in the book allows even us old canners to learn new things. The book is delightful.
Thank you for this wonderful resource.
Canners: Start with the one-layer canner. As you become better you will need a second one, buy the double layer canner. When you have used them for many years and the larger one becomes more difficult to handle because your hands are worn out, give it to the kids or better yet have the grandchildren come over and help with the canning. Everyone loves to eat and storing food is something to pass on to your family.
PS, you can never have enough JARS.
