Would this recipe book from 1997 that my mom got for me at the thrift be worth keeping? I’m concerned about out of date information

    I’d suggest getting one that’s more recent to use the recipes and such from (the most recent guidelines from USDA came out in 2015), but this one is a wonderful piece of history and I would keep it around just for that!

    I keep a lot of old and out of date canning books around because they are interesting. But it’s best to use the most up to date versions for actual canning. If you don’t want to buy a new book, there’s lots of great and tested info on the National Center for Home Food Preservation website.
