My First Time Canning
If you have a garden and its abundance cannot be eaten before it spoils then canning is a great option for long-term storage.
I had the opportunity to learn canning from my sweet friend Donna. I didn’t even own a canner at the time so she allow me to come can pinto beans at her house. We drank kombucha and had a wonderful chat while she taught me the ins and outs of pressure canning.
I planned my summer garden with canning in mind. I planted a lot of gree
n beans and I hope to have more than enough left for canning. I dream of digging out my sweet potatoes (which should be ready for a November harvest) and opening cans of my green beans as part of our Thanksgiving meal. Homesteader dreams…

Thank you for the chance to win. I have been growing my own food for many years and been telling myself that I would learn to can. I have a VERY old pressure cooker but I am afraid of it. A nice new one would get me started for sure!
I would love to win this!
I want it!
Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity
Would love to be a winner. Thanks guys. Can on.
Oh please please me!
I could use this canner as we can for two families
I grew up in a family that canned I wish I would have paid attention
Someone is going to be very happy when they win this. Good luck everyone!
I am a single working mum and I have 5 kids. My mum showed me how to can and that is the best thing I have ever learned. I can never make enoughfor my kids. Time is important to spend with my kids and get my canning done also. Thanks for thinking of me
I would love to have this! I usually freeze because I don’t have a canner!
I need a great pressure cooker\canner
I love canning! I learned as a young wife and continued through the years as my children grew. What a joy to pop open a jar of salsa on board game Friday nights or Kentucky half runner green beans on Thanksgiving! Tomato juice for the “first snow of the season” vegetable soup! The freshness of home canned food beats everything purchased from super market shelves!
I love all the canning tips. I am still fairly new and am slowly finding things here and there at garage sales and flea markets. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to win a pressure canner!
Late summer I spend a lot of time on your website, look forward to following you on Facebook.
