Ball Blue Books–1983, 2009, and 2020. You can really tell that the intended audience has changed. Trusted recipes have changed, and technique has, too.

    Ha. I love this. I have the very first Blue Ball canning book and it has a prefaced page with a little poem about “serving your husband”. You can bet they pulled that out a while back. I’m not going to judge anyone, but younger generations reading that now would certainly take that the wrong way.
