Rebel Canners Cookbook: Preserving Time-Honored Methods

This is NOT a "how to can" book rather a collection of recipes that can be canned. Rebel Canning is my passion and dedication to preserving the time-honored methods and recipes for preserving food that has been handed down through families for generations.

Many methods contained in this book have their roots in other countries. Read more
