Jackie: I got most of my recipes from my mom and mil.
This is from one of the lists I'm on:
The “bible of canning”, The Ball Blue Book (about $5.00 and available at most grocery stores) - if not, order one from the Alltrista Corporation, Post Office Box 2729, Muncie, Indiana 47307-0729. It is a good resource for beginner and experienced canners as well.

or you can call their order department at 1-800-392-2575 and also request a catalogue and two newsletters. Their catalogue is filled with all kinds of neat canning equipment including sets of designer lids and bands for Christmas gift giving. BTW, Ball and Kerr are now part of Alltrista Corporation. They used to be two separate companies but they still sell lids and screw bands under both trade names.
Hope this helps! Also, BerNARDin and Company's Coming has books out as well.
