Amish women are known and respected for their prowess in the kitchen. Not only do they cook and bake, and sell much of what they create, these women can just about everything they grow in the kitchen gardens, providing for their large families all through the cold winter months. In Ivory Burrows’ The Amish Canning Cookbook, readers and cooks will enjoy and learn alongside those who work wonders in their very simple kitchens. There are many benefits to canning one’s own food, not the least of which is that commercially canned foods contain so many harmful preservatives and chemicals, whereas home canned foods are all natural and good for consumption. And, it doesn’t have to be complicated. The Amish certainly make it appear easy enough.
Ivory Burrows’ cookbook, The Amish Canning Cookbook: Discover Delicious And Easy Amish Recipes For Canning, is a thorough and informative guide to home canning, sharing a fascinating collection of Amish canned goods, like pickles, vegetables, seafood and meats, and sweet treats and jams. The author begins with a short background on the Amish and their way of life, followed by detailed instructions on the proper and safe way to can food. The recipes are well organized and presented in a practical manner so that they’re easy to follow. Without the preservatives and chemical additives of commercially canned foods, canning at home maintains much of the flavors of fruits and vegetables. It’s also healthier to can your own foods. This is a great resource for those who want to venture into the simple world of Amish canning.
