Now that I no longer have facebook or my blog, it makes it hard for those of us who don’t have those to enter or do the required entries.
mine is old and rusty
awesome giveaway, I still have yet to learn to can, my mom always did that part, we always had the cutting and straining part as kids, not the “cooking” part. This would be great to can some tomatoes:)
My husband and I are self employed. Our work is seasonal so in the winter it gets lean around our home. It’s important for me to prepare for these hard times by preserving our vegetables from the garden and our CSA. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have wanted to learn to can and this would be the perfect way to get started.

I would love to learn how to can. With a family of 5, I need to save as much money as possible! Thank you for this opportunity! You have such a wonderful blog.
I have wanted to learn to can and this would be a great start.
I have always wanted a water bath canner…it just has never been in the budget.
I would like to replace the hand-me-down rusted out one that I have… I couldn’t figure out why it always seems to lose all of its water over the course of canning, but it turns out that rusty pinholes DO leak water, go figure
!
well this is an awesome giveaway!!!
The Ball model (pictured above) is the kind of canner recommended for an electric stove (which has the coil heating elements) BECAUSE the bottom of the Ball brand is completely flat (as opposed to the water bath canners that have a ridged bottom…as I understand these are to be used on gas stoves). I think the flat bottom canner makes better contact with the coiled heating element on electric stoves…that’s my understanding anyway. This is a very nice canner!
Because it would make a wonderful gift for my in-laws for Christmas!
This would make canning so much easier for me!
We’re in the process of purchasing a home with acreage and plan on growing lots of our own produce so I’m going to need one of these.
To can applesauce
to make yummy holiday gifts to give to neighbors and friends!
one of my besties is about to leave for India for a mission trip and we want to can little things of salsa for her to take! This would help so much!
I would love to win this because I am interested in canning. I have no supplies and don’t know much about it so winning something like this would be perfect. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would like to win the water bath canner so my sister can have one too and stop stealing mine!
Being on a very limited income this would allow me to make the best of my food dollars.
I’d love to win a canner so that I can easily preserve the great food we’re getting from our garden that gets larger every year.

I have always wanted to can and even have this on my Christmas wishlist.

My grandmother cans all the time and she needs a new one of these bad.
I want to can all the veggies from the garden properly! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

I so need this
Oh! I really want to learn how to can! This looks like so much fun!
I love canning. It just warms my heart and my home with smells of great things. I love making Apple Butter, Apple Sauce, Jams, and Salsa’s! Sad thing is that I could really use this being my son just used my canning pot to take out recycling (because it was big enough) & left it out by the trash a month ago. After going back in the kitchen and realizing it didn’t return, he searched but someone snatched it up! So now I can’t can!
I have ALWAYS wanted to can..I grew up with my mom and grandma and babysitter canning every year! Just always cost to much for me to get started. Now we have a family of 6 and I stay home, so I have the time and help to be a cannin’ mama!!
I would love to win this because I am just starting out canning and (lol) was just telling my husband yesterday how great it would be to have one of these!!
I’m looking at learning how to can to preserve more of our garden produce since the food supply can’t be trusted and won’t be required to label gmo products. ick. Thanks! cokelush at gmail
What a great starter set to help me learn!
I could really use a new canner. Mine is several years old and I use it a lot during the gardening season.
Wow..this would be amazing! Been playing around for a few years…time to get serious!
I am working on emergency preparedness and this canner would be GREAT not only to preserve food to have a stockpile of healthy foods at home but would also work great in our emergency kit to distill water!
I enjoy water bath canning, more then pressure canning.. At this time I just use my big pots… would love to win this canner…. Thanks for the opportunity!
What a great give away!
I’ve been wanting to try canning for a long time but honestly have no clue where to start. Part of my hesitation is the commitment it takes to purchase all the needed equipment, and then learning how to do it. I’ve finally found someone who’s willing to teach me, but don’t have any equipment yet. This would be awesome to win so I could actually start doing it NOW!
I am a homeschooling momma of 5 who is trying really hard to become a little more self sufficient. I grew up a city girl who never had to do much hard work, and I want more for my kids. Canning is on the list of things to learn myself, and teach my kids. (Not to mention, we’d love to stock our pantry!!!)
Trying so hard to save money with seasonal food shopping. this would help a bunch!!!
To can more of the things we preserve: like tomato sauce, fruit, green beans… rather than just freezing them.
I always wanted to learn to can. Maybe winning this would give me a kick in the right direction. ;0)
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
canned tomatoes for the first time this year using my mom’s canner, would love to have my own to use at home!
My oldest daughter and I just started to can!!! This would be fabulous to have!!!!!!!
I’d love to win because we lost the lid to our old pot and then used it for scalding chickens before plucking and I can’t afford to buy a new one (It’s hard to find one that’s wide enough and tall enough!)
like to win also but like to have a canning book with how to freeze too
I love making pickles and relishes and they come out better when they’re done right.
I want to win so I can start canning again. I canned years ago, but I don’t have my equipment anymore.
I would love to win this! With this I could learn how to can the food I grow in the summer!
I would love to win because I dream of canning and preserving like my grandma use to do when I was a child. I use to watch her all the time and I can’t wait to learn to do it myself!

I would like to win because I have never tried canning
Because my first garden was successful beyond my wildest dreams and I had no idea what to do with all the veggies! Looks like I’ll have to learn to can.

This is a skill I need to get
would love to start canning again with this kit!
I’m new to this “wonderful” world of canning and preserving. I’m quickly finding that the pot I have is way too small. Just think of all the lovely jars I could bath in this pot! Love it!
It’s great for canning and also handy if you need to cook a big pot of soup.
This would be an answered prayer..
i want to learn to can so i can preserve foods and save money
My husband just plowed a large plot for a garden in our backyard so I am looking forward to doing some canning next summer. This would be great to help me get started!
My husband plants a large garden every year, and if i had the right equipment to can I would actually attempt to do it.
