The Canning Diva Presents Meals in a Jar: The Ultimate Guide to Pressure Canning Ready-Made Meals

This book is amazing. Recipes from all over the world made easy and delicious as well as foods we are familiar with. A good amount of vegetarian cuisine which is unique in a canning cookbook. This book is a must. Five stars.

I love the newest canning book by Canning Diva! All of her books are definitely worth having in your collection. I made 3 recipes this weekend from the newest Meals in a Jar. All 3 are fantastic! We couldn't wait to try the Campfire Breakfast Hash we canned yesterday so we made breakfast tacos Sunday morning. The Beef Barbacoa is in the canner but I did steal a taste as I was filling the jars (meat was slow cooked) and it is absolutely delicious. We also canned the Green Chili w Pork. We love her tomatilla salsa recipe so have no doubt the pork will be a favorite as well. The book is full of international recipes including a chaper on vegetarian recipes. Highly recommend!

I like the fact that in this book she gives us a more worldly view of recipes that can be canned I like the fact that she goes into detail about different types of bacteria and why canning properly is important. Some reviewers have pointed out that the recipes are not good for young families because they are so foreign I believe as a mother to a young family, it’s my job to introduce my kids to as many different types of foods as possible, and this book gives easy to follow recipes to can meals in a jar that absolutely, go to for a young family always on the go.

This book is by far the best canning book yet. Its perfect for the beginner or the experienced canner and provides an abundance of detail and the recipes are easy to follow. I can’t wait to try all the new recipes that I found.

I have been a long time fan of the Canning Diva’s Complete Guide to Pressure Canning, so I knew I needed this book, and boy does it deliver! As a fan of many other cuisines, I’ve long lamented the lack of more internationally focused pressure canning recipes. Meals in a Jar fills this void so well! Not only are there your classics like beef stew, but there are great additions like Chana Masala, Israeli Eggplant with Lamb, and Beef Barbacoa. Wahoo!!! Another cool aspect is that some of the recipes don’t require a liquid ladled over the top, so now all your pressure canning recipes don’t have to be stews (yay! I mean I love a stew but still). This really opens up a whole new world of canning for me. I can’t wait to crack open a jar of Korean Bulgogi beef or Thai Larb Gai! While I haven’t yet canned any of these recipes, I know the Diva will deliver. I’ve canned so many of her other dishes so I’m confident these will be new, tasty, and interesting additions to my canning repertoire!
