is this only availible in the states? i have not been able to find it at all, and the walmart here has never heard of it. i went to homecanning.ca, and it is only availible to us residents. is there a canadian equivalent?

Pixie,

 

don't copy them all, just copy a few things... raw pack, hot pack, light-med-heavy syryps, canning times for quarts and pints, and what vegetable-fruit-meat has to be canned at what PSI, etc.

 

Print out a couple of recipes you think you would use. Know the difference between water bath canning and pressure canning.

 

Copy and paste into a word processing file... save the cartridge!

You may try a hardware store. Our Walmart, for some unknown reason, no longer sells the Blue Book. However, you can find them at hardware stores. That's where I got a new one when mine was never returned from a friend LOL!!!

Create a folder on yer hard drive to save all the great info from the web and every now and then burn the folder into a CD...then you can retrieve the info anytime you need it....less space than a binder and cheaper than buying ink and paper.
