Another excellent resource I keep in my personal library.
Excerpt from customer book review:
Most of the information is on canning and freezing (including different packaging and wrapping techniques), but the book also goes into salting, smoking, drying, and root cellaring.
The recipes they give are educational--covering jellies, jams, butters and pickling. These are prime opportunities for failure without appropriate instruction.
They also explain the best preservation method for the food (often right down to a variety of fruit or veggie, or cut of meat) and how the preservation method used will alter the food. They also tell you what the food will be best used for after preserving.
Things like that make a difference--especially if one didn't grow up in a household where these were items of common knowledge!
