Love the layout of this book! I wish Ball wrote all their canning books this way. There is a picture of the recipe item on one side, and the recipe on the other. Beautifully done.

Ball Back To Basics is definitely that.
The book covers the basic items you will need to get started in water bath canning. The recipes are very simple and seldom give you any options for substitutions. In the fruit butters section it does give you a variety of options for ingredients you might want to use. For instance you use a sweetener when making butters. So it gives you the option to use different sweeteners like sugar, honey, brown sugar, Et cetera. However for the most part the Ball company is using the book to sell their products, like companies who put out pamphlets or books usually do. For instance making dill pickles it doesn't give you any real options for spices. Instead it says to use (pickling spice). Since in the recipe it says to use Ball salt and Ball pickle crisp, I'm amazed it didn't say to use Ball pickle spice also. There are a lot of different spices that can be used in making dill pickles but the book doesn't provide that information. It would be nice if the recipe actually had the spices needed written down, rather than saying use pickle spice.
The book also says make sure you follow the ingredients exactly, otherwise...

After I read a copy at my local library I had to buy my own copy. I have now made my first jelly and some pickled vegetables. I grew up watching ym mother can, but never really canned more than a couple of times, and never by myself. Since I now have a digestive disorder and live in a rural area, where its hard to get good produce (its grown here but not sold here - all shipped elsewhere from big farming conglomerates), I recently found a good source for produce but it only available once a month. I decided to try canning by myself and it much easier than I thought, following some basic science and care, even at the 5000ft altitude I live at. Troubleshooting in back would only be more helpful if it included pictures.
The only note, is that USDA put out a warning to not use pickling salt/pickle crisp as as there have been several recent botulism cases...and it note necessary anyway. I never saw anyone in my family use it or talk of using it and they really lived out in the middle of nowhere even for rural areas. So any and all canning books will have this problem.

The title says it all. No drama canning. If you like to work smart, not hard, this book is yours. Lots of visuals. Some of the tried and true recipes, some different ones. I made the recipe using fresh cranberries in syrup. It's best not to overcrowd the jar with solids, lots of pectin in cranberries, so you want it to be loose, not tight. ( I found out by doing it twice). I have canned up whole cherries, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, etc...but never saw one for whole fresh cranberries. Perfect for fall/winter gift giving that won't break the bank, great to pour on top of ice cream, pound cake, yogurt. There's a simple BBQ sauce using ketchup, not tomatoes as most BBQ canning recipes need, making it very "basic" and easy and fast. I had at least three very large containers of ketchup from the big box store, so I was glad to have a way to use some of it up! I made it and used it w/o canning it to decide if I wanted to can up more of it, and i will next time now that I've sampled it. In fact, you can also use the cranberry recipe right away too w/o canning it, so it's very flexible for now or for storage to eat later on. You can take the BBQ sauce...
