Trouble: I just recently started getting into canning. I did a blackberry jam because we have a blackberry bush. I had waited on getting this bug, but I am excited for this upcoming season to be able to start doing a lot more canning so this book is going to be a great help.

Karen Atwood: Only one available was the coiled binder so that is what I purchased. It is good quality and has all of the information I was looking for.

If experts are not available in person, tutorials written by experts have always worked for me. Attention to detail and following instructions EXACTLY are the keys to creating an end-result to be proud of. In this instance, I started with Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. Within the pages of this hefty, 448 page "how to," I found everything I needed to know to start my jelly making. I learned jelly-making is done using the water-bath method. What else? This book had all the answers.

Equipment? I started with a "boiling-water canner." This can be any deep pot, with a lid and a rack. I purchased,  Granite Ware 0707-1 Steel/Porcelain Water-Bath Canner with Rack, 21.5-Quart, Black , but the Ball book explained that any pot big enough to completely immerse the jars in water and is at least three inches deeper than the...
