This set includes four vintage home canning guides. First, 'Recipes for Preserves' by Parowax (Standard Oil Company), copyrighted in 1950. Second, 'What makes Jelly 'Jell'' from General Food Corporation, dating back to 1945. Third, 'Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetables' published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1957, being Home and Garden Bulletin No. 8. Fourth, the 'Home Canning Book' by Kerr Glass Manufacturing Corp. from 1952. The books are in acceptable condition. There's moderate soiling on the covers, the cover of the 'Home Canning Book' isn't attached to the text block, the binding is fragile, and there's soiling on the pages but readability remains unaffected.
These vintage home canning guides are great resources for learning how to preserve your own food. To use them, simply flip through the pages to find the recipes and instructions that suit your needs. When handling these books, be gentle because the binding is fragile. Try not to bend the pages too much to avoid further damage. For maintenance, keep them in a dry and cool place to prevent any more soiling or deterioration. And even though the pages are soiled, the information is still clear and easy to read, so you can rely on these guides for your home canning projects.
