Ball Canning Discovery Kit Giveaway

Jarden Home Brands started by the Ball brothers has produced quality products to help preserve garden fresh produce across America for over 125 years.  The Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company began manufacturing fruit jars in 1884 in Buffalo, New York.  Over time, their brand and products have expanded dramatically and they have become a worldwide leader.
They offer a variety of products to help you make and preserve the freshest ingredients straight from your garden as well as offer lots of recipes to help you along the way.
Recently, you've seen me post various preserving/pickling recipes.  I've included recipes for Pear Preserves, Canning Peaches and Pickling Banana Peppers.  Since I’ve been canning for over a year now, I’ve been fortunate to learn a lot and create lots of goodies for friends and family.  Now, Jarden Home Brands/Ball Products are offering you the opportunity to do the same!

Oh I've seen these and I want it! I get so many peppers each year, I end up freezing them but I'd love to learn canning. I'd like to eventually can fruit from the fruit trees I've planted in my yard, veggies from my garden, along with the fun salsa, jams, pickles, etc.! Thanks!

I make several types of jam every year. (Strawberry, raspberry & blueberry) Also make apple butter. But what I'd really love to learn how to can/make myself is spaghetti sauce.
