We are changing our website software and host. The new pages have a white background and the old have a blue background. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The new format will provide easier navigation, additional recipes with measurements calculated for pint and quart jar canning batches. There are new icons for printing and e-mailing recipes. We hope you'll share our site through the new social networking icons including Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Delicious and Google. There are also some helpful external websites in the Home Canning Resources plus the USDA Complete Home Canning Guide in PDF (slow loading) format. It's a big project and will take a bit of time. Thanks again.
