well as basic procedures and some recipes for pressure canning.</p> <p>All of their recipes are lab-tested for safety. Although a given recipe (say, Mustard Pickle) might appear to violate the general rule of thumb of “no flour in canning recipes”, such a recipe passes muster with flying colours owing to a higher rule: lab-tested by Ball.</p> <p>The goal of the Ball Blue Book likely isn’t for the Blue Book to become a huge profit centre in itself; the goal likely is for it to promote home canning and via that, the Ball products. It’s a sampling of recipes designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience. There’s a lot of emphasis on plain foods — which you can then use as “plain ingredients” when you open the jars to make something from combining them all in a recipe.</p> <h2><span id="New_editions_supersede_old_editions">New editions supersede old editions</span></h2> <p>The most recent edition of the Blue Book, as of spring 2016, is the 37th edition of Blue Book (dated 2014 but first released spring 2015.)</p> <p><div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ejpn1apnWcE" data-id="Ejpn1apnWcE" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Ball® Blue Book Guide to Preserving"></div><noscript><iframe title="Ball® Blue Book Guide to Preserving" width="720" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ejpn1apnWcE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript></p> <p>Often, when a new Blue Book is released, Ball will say that it supersedes previous Blue Books and you should cease using them, but with the release of the 37th edition in 2015, Ball said that the previous Blue Book, the 36th edition in 2013, was still valid. <span class="footnote_referrer"><a role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="footnote_moveToReference_1277_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1277_1_1');" onkeypress="footnote_moveToReference_1277_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1277_1_1');"><sup id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_1277_1_1" class="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text">[1]</sup></a><span id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1277_1_1" class="footnote_tooltip"> Ball Canning: “Hi Randal, the new version is updated with new recipes and additional tips and tricks and can be used in conjunction [with the 2013]” Ball Canning Rep on Facebook to Randal Oulton 9 February 2015.

Old-timers say that over the years Ball will prune recipes — not necessarily because the recipes are no longer safe, but sometimes just because tastes have changed. If you are wondering about a recipe in an old Blue Book that isn’t in a current one, ask Ball customer service before using the recipe, and they will tell you if it’s still considered safe or not.</p> <h2><span id="Comparing_the_Ball_Blue_Book_to_other_canning_books_published_by_Newell">Comparing the Ball Blue Book to other canning books published by Newell</span></h2> <p>Compared to other publications by the mother ship known as the “Newell Corporation” (previously Jarden) the Ball Blue Book focusses more on ‘standard’ recipes. Other Newell publications such as the <a href="https://www.healthycanning.com/bernardin-home-canning-recipe-books/">Bernardin Guide</a>, the Ball Complete, etc, are considered to offer more “gourmet” approaches to home canning. The Ball Complete Book (labelled the Bernardin Complete Book in Canada) is written in Canada and is a compilation of recipes from Ball, Bernardin and Kerr. It has more recipes than the Blue Book but note: not more pressure canning recipes. The pressure canning recipes are essentially the same as those in the Blue Book.</p> <h2><span id="Criticisms_of_the_Ball_Blue_Book">Criticisms of the Ball Blue Book</span></h2> <p>One criticism that a new generation of canners has of the Blue Book is that it continues to give imprecise measures such as “1 quart chopped onion”, and then tell people not to deviate one iota in measurements or they will poison everybody. Ball has attempted to address this somewhat in the 37th edition by being more wordy and attempting in some places to precise exactly what they mean by “coarsely chopped cabbage” in a particular recipe.</p> <p>Many of the new wave of canners also wish that Ball simply just gave weight equivalents for such ingredients as “1 quart medium-coarse chopped cabbage.”</p> <p>Another criticism is that the recipes shock new canners with the huge amounts of salt and refined sugar called for; many people simply choose not to use the book for this reason, and turn to (often untested) Internet sources instead.</p> <div id="attachment_1280" style="width: 690px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1280" class="size-full wp-image-1280" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20680%20450'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="The recipes are more wordy in the 2014 37th edition, in an attempt to help people understand the measurements more." width="680" height="450" data-lazy-src="https://www.healthycanning.com/wp-content/uploads/blue-book-comparison.jpg"><noscript><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1280" class="size-full wp-image-1280" src="https://www.healthycanning.com/wp-content/uploads/blue-book-comparison.jpg" alt="The recipes are more wordy in the 2014 37th edition, in an attempt to help people understand the measurements more." width="680" height="450"></noscript><p id="caption-attachment-1280" class="wp-caption-text">The recipes are more wordy in the 2014 37th edition, in an attempt to help people understand the measurements more.</p></div> <p>The book is not strong on <a href="https://www.healthycanning.com/pressure-canning-fish-and-seafoods/">canning fish products</a>. The information it gives is reliable, but cursory. For more help, someone home canning fish will want to supplement the information from other <a href="https://www.healthycanning.com/home-canning-recipe-books-reputable-sources/">reputable sources</a>.</p> <h2><span id="Mistakes_in_the_Ball_Blue_Book">Mistakes in the Ball Blue Book</span></h2> <p>The Blue Book compilers do make some editorial mistakes.</p> <p>In the 2013 36th edition, Ball withdrew the Squash Pickles recipe that had been in 2010 Blue Book, without saying why, though leaving a ghost index entry pointing to it on page 57.</p> <p>In the 2014 37th edition, the Hot Rhubarb Grilling Sauce recipe on page 128 was missing the processing time (should be ½ US pints for 10 minutes), and the processing directions for mushrooms (on page 114) was omitted from the index.</p> <p>The indexes are frequently not entirely accurate. They may still mention ghost recipes that have been dropped, while failing to mention new recipes that have been added.</p> <h2><span id="Metric_edition_of_the_Ball_Blue_Book">Metric edition of the Ball Blue Book</span></h2> <p>Ball’s first foray into metric lasted only a brief 12 years. The Blue Book provided metric alternative measures from Edition 30 of the Blue Book (1977) up until and including the first printing of Edition 32 of the Blue Book (1989). But, they dropped metric in the second printing of Edition 32 in 1990, and it was still absent in the 37th Edition of the Blue Book printed in 2014. (It did re-appear, however, in the 2016 edition of the Ball All New.)</p> <p>In 2015, Ball accelerated its push into overseas English-speaking countries. It was already in Australia, and expanded into South Africa and the United Kingdom. It opened in the UK in June 2015. <span class="footnote_referrer"><a role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="footnote_moveToReference_1277_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1277_1_2');" onkeypress="footnote_moveToReference_1277_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1277_1_2');"><sup id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_1277_1_2" class="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text">[2]</sup></a><span id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1277_1_2" class="footnote_tooltip"> Jarden Corporation Press Release.

I was reading a booklet dated 1900 Ball How to Can Meat Game and Poultry. At the back of the booklet was information about the history of the Ball Blue Book. I will quote a small bit of it “The first Ball Blue Book was published more than twenty-five years ago. It has been revised every year since to include the latest approved practices, and today is used as a supplementary text in the home economics classes of high schools and colleges all over the country.” So if this is to be believed, then the first Ball Blue Book was published more than 25 years before 1900, which would be at least 1874. I couldn’t find a picture of one online, but I’m looking. Great website you have here. Thanks for all the great info.

On the cover, my grandmother has written her name, and also “green tomato pickle recipe, page 35” . I was so excited, but then so disappointed because the booklet is missing many pages, page 35 included! </p> <p>Is there any chance an edition 26-B, 1956 would still be available?
