I recommend getting a few basic tools for the job to get started.  While you can find many home canning projects that don't require a pressure cooker, I still recommend investing if you think this is something you'll be doing long-term.

What supplies do I need for home canning?

  • Water Bath Canning System or Pressure Cooker
  • Canning Jars in various sizes:  4-ounce jars, 8-ounce jars, 16-ounce jars, 32-ounce jars
  • Labels for Canning Jar
  • Canning Cookbooks: Ball Complete Handbook Of Home Canning or The Ultimate Guide To Home Canning and Preserving For Beginners

Invest in a great pressure cooker and use up all of the excess fruit you come across this year for these great canning recipes.  Jams, jellies, chutneys, and salsas are always easy and fun to make.  Get the whole family involved with the canning process, and you'll never turn back.

I love home canning and these canning recipes are perfect for a fun family activity. Get the kids involved with helping wash the fruit, peel fruit, or even pack jars with fruit.  They will love that they are cooking and helping. Plus being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor makes kids more willing to try new foods, one of my favorite ways to get picky eaters to expand their horizons!  These canning recipes and tips will help to make home-canned foods a regular part of your family routine.
