I am most looking forward to canning tomato sauce! My boyfriend and I love spaghetti and I would love to make it at home!!
Blueberry Citrus Conserve looks the closest to my favorite jam recipe – Blueberry Lemon Jam! I could eat that all day long.
I would love to try this. I grew up in a household canning all summer long, but I have never jumped into it with my own family, but I really want to try if I can get a decent harvest this summer.
Have canned in water baths previously but somehow my big pot has gone missing. Maybe lost in a move. Would love to be able to put up salsa and other tomato based sauces from my backyard.
I would love to try the Apple pie filling!!
Nice giveway! Canning is awesome.
Would like to start canning again. Fond memories of doig it as a child with my mom.
Learned to can pickles last summer. Can’t wait to continue the adventure this summer.
Would love to use this on my NEW canning stove! After putting up over 500 jars of homemade canned goods last fall, I sure could use a new one.
I would like to try all of them! I tried canning with my grandma once and had an asthma attack and never tried again. I have wanted to learn how to do this for a very long time, I think it will be an important asset to my family as I try to get away from professionally canned processed foods. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to win this! I’ve always to give canning a shot, especially wanted to try to make pickles (my family eats them like they’re going out of style). So I would probably try the Kosher Dill Pickle recipe first ^.^
I would love to have this. My family of 6 need to keep our food costs low so we can afford other things. We live on a tight budget and this would only make things easier. I love to garden but end up giving a lot of produce away. I need to start canning so I can save more of the yummy goodness my garden brings. Not to mention it will help us live a healthier life with out the GMO’s and Pesticides on my food.
I would love to learn to make apple pie filling, strawberry jam, and the jalapeno jelly for my grandpa it’s a favorite of his!
I’m a newbie, so I’m interested in pretty much everything
I’ve always wanted to try canning, this would give me the kick that i need to get started!
I’d especially like to try my hand at homemade tomato sauce.
I’m pretty new to canning and this would be perfect to preserve my summer harvest!
Apples in syrup!
LOVE the salsa recipe from Ball!
I’d like to try the apple pie filling. I’d make pies more often if half the work was already done :), but then, my resolution for losing weight might suffer 😛
Love the salsa recipe from bal
Dill Sandwich Slices….Because I am a newbie to this, having been intimidated to try before. But this would be VERY helpful to get me on the road to canning. And pickles seemed easy enough and like something I couldnt screw too badly 🙂 Good luck everyone!
I’m so excited to make strawberry jam!
love canned greenbeans
This is an awesome giveaway. I’m trying to plan some summer canning this year.
I’d love to try the salsa verde recipe 🙂
Would love to try the Antipasto Relish! I’ve been wanting to get into canning, this would get me the head start I need!
Gardening and canning are my two major goals this year! Awesome giveaway!!
Oh wow. The apple pie filling would be great to try. Awesome giveaway 🙂
I freeze everything but promised myself that this year I will re-learn canning since it has been many, many years since I have done it. This would be a great help to get me motivated. Thank you for the opportunity.
My son and I garden every year. We donate some of it to the food bank here. I would love to learn how to can some of it. So we could have it for the winter.
I Am A Big Fan Of Apricots…Apricot Freezer Jam Would Be My Choice.
I want to make my own applesauce. My son eats it faster than I can buy it, and I’d like to ensure it is chemical and pesticide free 🙂
mmm the honey spiced peaches looks awesome
I am growing my first garden this year! I am very excited to learn all about canning and preserving my fresh produce and enjoying it in the winter. I am hoping to grow many tomatoes so any recipe for salsa and tomato sauce!
I’ve been wanting to can for a long time and this kit would be ideal for me to start!!!
Apples in syrup look yummy!
That pineapple chili salsa sounds amazing. I never would have thought to combine peppers, pineapple, raisins and papaya in a salsa. I would love to win this canning kit to get me started.
I’d like to learn how to can chicken. I’ve never canned anything before!
Karen–this kit wouldn’t be used for Chicken–you’d need a pressure canner for that. But there are plenty of delicious things you CAN can in a boiling water bath–basically any kind of fruit, jam, syrup, pickle, tomato product etc.
I soooo want this. What a wonderful giveaway.
Would love to try the almond delight jam, sounds great.
Would love to win this and start canning again. Haven’t canned anything in over 30 years. The Italian Herb Seasoned Tomatoes would be a great starter.
Would love to have one of these, I did some canning when my daughter was young and would like to do it again but no longer have the equipment to do so.
