GIVEAWAY!!! Ball Complete Book of HOME PRESERVING

I thought it was time to have a fun giveaway.  Since I have gotten so much enjoyment from all the canning and preserving I've been doing, I wanted you to have some fun too.

So, I'm giving away this wonderful book full of 400 wonderful recipes to make everything from jams, pickles, salsa, sauces and much much more.

If you have never canned or preserved anything, this is the book for you as it will take you step by step. 

If you have been canning and preserving for years, this is still  book you will love as it will give you so many great ideas on how to step up the flavors way beyond the normal simple canning/preserving recipes.

There are no hoops you need to jump through.  No long stories to tell or anything to like.  Just leave your name and a way for me to reach you.  I'll pick a winner by random drawing next Friday. 

I would love to hear your favorite recipe you love to can or preserve and would be thrilled if you shared.  But, if you don't want to take the time to leave it, that is fine, you can still win :)

Good Luck!
