This week, I've talked a lot about canning and I really hope that it has gotten you inspired to start your own canning projects! To help, I've teamed up with Progressive International to offer one of my readers the chance to win some of the tools I talked about yesterday in this amazing Canning Starter Package!
This prize pack includes:
Progressive 3 Piece Canning Essentials Tool Kit - Comes with a a jar grabber - an absolute a must have for any canner to help you safely remove jars from boiling water bath; a lid lifter with magnetic magic to get your lids out of hot water bath safely and easily; and a jar funnel to help you fill your jars quickly and with minimal mess, not only that, but this the thing that makes this funnel really special is that it has marks to show you exactly how much headspace you are leaving to a perfect pour every single time!
Progressive Reversible Stainless Steel Canning Rack: This beauty fits in most 16qt and larger stockpots, so it is perfect & compact to store and bring out on your canning project days. It is made of stainless steel, so it won't rust. The best part? It is reversible so one side will fit 4 quart jars or just give it a flip to perfectly fit 7 half pints. AND it is stackable, so you can use multiple racks to process up to 14 jars at a time!
1 Dozen Half-Pint Ball Mason Jars - These are my jars of choice. They are perfect for pretty much any canning project from pickles to jams!
Just add fruit or veggies and you have everything you need to get started with canning...or to add to your current stash of canning supplies!
Thank you so much for entering and following along! Good luck!
What an awesome giveaway!!! I really REALLY want to make some strawberry jam this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to round-off your canning posts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is great! Your series is totally getting me excited about canning!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to canning some jams
ReplyDeleteThis is so rad! Much nicer than the jar grabber that plops the jars into boiling water and burns me.
ReplyDeleteI dream of making jams and salsas!
ReplyDeleteI've only ever made strawberry jam, but I'd love to make a ton of pizza sauce, since I'm sort of in love with pizza, haha! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Are you growing tomatoes this year? I will be sure to post my tomato sauce recipe...probably in August when all of the tomatoes here are overwhelming my garden and just begging to be made into sauce and salsas! ;)
DeleteI make raspberry and strawberry jam.
ReplyDeleteI just got back to the States from Japan and looking into canning my own tomatoes! This would be perfect!

I want to learn to can pickles!
ReplyDeleteOh good! I have a pickling basics post in the works that I will post really soon! I hope it will help you and get you inspired to try it out!
DeleteI have never canned anything but would love to can pickles.
ReplyDeleteI would love to teach you! I'll have a pickling recipe and tutorial up really soon and I hope you'll give it a try! ;)
DeleteI would love to start canning! I have many fond memories of helping my grandmother can beets and cucumbers. She made the best sweet pickles! I would love to learn how to follow in her footsteps. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be a great way to learn how to make jams & jelly. It would be good to give as a gift. Thanks for the cool contest.
ReplyDeleteI made strawberry jam

I am planning on picking all sorts of blackberries this summer in Silverdale, WA! Oh the jam I could make :-)
ReplyDeleteLove to can jams and jellies
ReplyDeleteI can my own jams and jellies every year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to can apple butter! I know how to make it from scratch but I haven't learned the art of canning yet.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Apple butter is my favorite! I'll be posting a strawberry jam recipe in a couple of days and it will go over the basics of canning, so you can easily just apply the technique to doing apple butter! And actually, apple butter is way easier because it doesn't really need all the fuss of adding pectin and getting the right consistency, just throw it in the slow cooker for a day and do the canning! ;)
DeleteI can't wait to can tomatos and peaches!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to branch out beyond jellies, spiced blueberry jam being my favorite tried and true recipe. I'm looking forward to canning tomatoes this year!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE that recipe if you are up for sharing it! I got a blueberry relish that is kind of spiced and vinegar-y at a canning swap and I am so in love with it...I eat it on yogurt constantly! I would love to try something similar this year!
DeleteI'd love to learn how to can the "tomato relish" my grandmother made!

Tomatoes! I love them and use them in everything. I have tried the fridge cucumbers and peppers and I would love to start canning. With my new garden!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I make pepper jelly together every year out of a mixture of different peppers. We have so much fun doing it together, and everyone in our family loves it, so we try to make enough for everyone to last all year.
ReplyDeleteJams and jellies! I would also love to make put up some beans, and make different varieties of pickles.
ReplyDeleteI've never canned before, but this year hubby and I have a huge garden and have been discussing doing canning. We will have beans, carrots, tomatoes, squash, broccoli, onions, and too many things to list! This would just be too awesome! Thanks for this chance to learn some canning :)
ReplyDeleteI love canning homemade salsa!

ReplyDeletewe can everything out of the garden, but I thin my favorite thing to can is meat. It is so nice to can up a bunch of beef or deer and during the winter just open a can, thicken the juices and serve over rice. All the work is done upfront!
ReplyDeleteI've never canned anything, but growing up, my great grandmother always did. We had a huge garden, and she canned everything--tomatoes, green beans, pickles, etc. I would LOVE to win this!
