The Canning Starter Kit

Everything you need to put up your first batch.

Your first canning run shouldn't mean three trips to the store because nobody told you you'd need a jar lifter. This kit fixes that. It's the gear that actually touches the work: the jars, the lids, and the tools that keep you from burning your hands, packed in with the guide that tells you what to do with them.

I put it together for the person standing in front of a flat of tomatoes wondering where to start. You're set for water-bath canning right away, and everything in the box gets used again next season.

What's in the box

• Six wide-mouth quart jars
• One box of wide-mouth canning lids and bands
• One reusable stainless steel jar lid
• Jar lifter and canning funnel
• Canning Season Prep Guide (printable PDF)
