This year Jarden Home Brands launched the third appliance in its FreshTECH family. The new FreshTECH Electric Water Bath Canner + Multi-Cooker is a plug-in, countertop appliance that eliminates the need for stove top heating. This removes the concerns of ceramic-glass stove top owners and makes it more convenient to handle than traditional water bath canning pots. The appliance enables users to multi-task during the canning process, eliminating the need to monitor boiling water or move the pot to fill and drain.
So, I know you’re thinking oh, another fairly narrow-use appliance… I certainly had that thought initially, but now that I’ve pulled it out and really explored all of the possibilities, I see that this device is essentially a more versatile version of a crock pot that allows you to actually waterbath can in addition to all the slow cooking you might want to do. The pot’s size is also quite handy for the larger soups and stock batches that won’t fit in your standard crock pot.
Plus, there’s a spigot which eliminates the majority of the lifting and pouring you need to do to get water or stock out of the pot when finished. I also plan to use this as our mulled wine or mulled cider vessel for our annual holiday party. No more sticky goo all over the kitchen stove as people try to ladle out festive warm beverages.

If by #canitforward they mean give my brother, my nephews, my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law all jars and jars of marvelous jam; then yes I do.
I make a Blackberry/Lemon/Vanilla Bean/Turbinado Sugar Jam that is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. You should try it because the wow factor is pretty high with this one. Be sure to put in some Lemon Zests along with the juice of two Lemons, use real Turbinado Sugar and use a real Whole Vanilla Bean for each pot - scraping the seeds into your mixture and cooking with the pod in there - then removing that. People really flip for this.
I'll be making pickles for Christmas gifts.
I'm making my pickled okra and gingerbread jam with the first apples of the season
I share my canned soup with my parents!
Peach salsa!!
I'd use it to make jams for the pantry to help my family through the long, cold winter!
I've been wanting one of these soo bad this year! I planted a HUGE garden and can't wait to start canning salsa!

I am just learning to can. So far I did canned green beans and zucchini. I am hoping to do some jams and jellies.
Tomato products and pickles!
Great Giveaway. Finishing up canning meats, and still have black eyed peas, beans, and more tomatoes than I care to think about to get canned.
I have been growing lots of tomatoes, onions, and peppers to can this season.
I'll be canning many of the "usual" things this season - salsa, sauces, jams and pickles. I'm also on the schedule to teach a friend preserving techniques as he and his family have grown a garden for the first time this year!
i plan to can for my family and my extended family. i would like to make homemade jams for the holidays.
I'm going to make salsa!
Kate,
Ever since I took your Jam canning class and bought your book in Austin at Faraday's Kitchen - I've rearranged by kitchen, bought a stamp with my name for home cooked goods, freezed seasonal fruit...Everything but make the jams! I would love to win these great products!!
I've been canning like crazy this summer. I just finished with my peaches for the year. They will be distributed to family members if I can part with a few cans!
This summer I am canning a lot of low sugar or no sugar recipes using that version of pectin I just discovered. So far I've done blueberry, cherry, strawberry, hot pepper and sweet pickles. Peaches later this week.
My grandmother no longer has the energy to do her own canning so everything I make I share with her.
