3.0 out of 5 stars It's written for the American market, 29 Jun 2008
By C. Barber (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Easy to read book but I didn't realise (when I purchased the book) that it's written for the American market. Terms included 'canning' (not to be confused with commercial canning) when in the UK we say 'Bottling' and everything is in cup measurements etc. Also harvest times are obviously different too.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm a 1st time canner & this book was helpful., 30 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I found this book in the library and used it for my first garden bounty -- my first canned peaches, my first jam, and my first frozen green beans. Keeping the Harvest is informative, fairly comprehensive and simple to follow. I'm buying it now so I'll be ready for next summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful book, 23 May 2009
By S. Baldwin "dragonsue" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A comprehensive book of freezing, drying, pickling and jam making, one that only the really serious would want on hand.

If you are not sure if you want to go down the preserving route, perhaps borrowing the book first, before making up your mind, would be the best way to go.

There is one small draw back with this book, it has been written by an American for the American market, so all weights and measures are in cups, gallons, quarts etc, so unless you can work with US recipes, it will mean nothing to you on the recipe side.

But having said that, there is great detail on each of the preserving methods themselves which is very useful, including new US guidelines on safe food preserving, which is difficult to find here in the UK, but invaluable if you want to stay healthy after eating your preserved produce!
