The KERR Home Canning booklet was my Mother's and Grandmother's bible to all things canning. Our family copy is tattered and torn, splattered and well-loved; complete with a cover that has freed itself from the rest of the stapled pages. We hope you find the information valuable, helpful, fun and insightful.
Some of the sections listed below are not lit up yet. Please check back, as we intend to fill in these missing pieces by the Fall of 2017.
