    Attended the classes, and I’m dying to get started on preserving some fruit. Would love to do it with this equipment! I’ve seen it in action and it’s not just a pretty face!

    I LOVE the Williams-Sonoma new Agrarian focus! Please do not let this fade away! We tried the Kilner jars, Pomona’s Pectin and some Weck jars, and had great success with all. The one problem we had this weekend was trying a recipe for peach jam using natural pectin from one of the canning books we picked up this week at W-S. Instead of using the Pomona’s pectin, we followed the recipe exactly, which called for lemon juice and apples (for pectin). Although the author stated that she used non-reactive pans, I used a copper confiture pan, which reacted with the lemon juice and left a bitter aftertaste to the beautiful preserves. My DIL and I voted the Weck jars were too beautiful to waste on not-so-perfect preserves, so out went the batch! Now I need a non-reactive pan, and this Kilner pan looks great!

    My husband and I are now trying to figure out how to turn an outbuilding into a canning kitchen, and want the W-S beehives! Wow! I never thought we’d see this from W-S and we are so proud to have them in our little community of Madison, Mississippi!

    I’m a chef and I recently started making jam because my daughters were really into this. This would be a great help in the kitchen.

    Oh, how fun! I’m teaching my 4 year old how to make jam right now so he can make his own pb&j’s. I love the Williams-Sonoma recipes, every one I’ve tried has been repeated!

    I am a senior who loves to cook with my grandsons. They love their W-S kids cookbook and we use that often. In the summer and fall we pick fruit at a local farm and then begin to create. So far this summer we have made fruit pies, jam and sorbet. Would love to have some equipment that isn’t fifty years old. Thanks!

    Making jam is one of my son’s favorite cooking activities! He’s involved in every part of the process: picking, jam making and of course, the eating!! The set looks beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity.

    Some of my earliest memories are of my Grandma and Grandaddy making fig preserves and mayhaw jelly. I now use some of their same recipes in my own kitchen. I would love the opportunity to pass down this loved family tradition to my niece and nephew with the Kilner pan and tools above.

    I just started canning and would love to have a large kettle like this! I’ve been dividing my batches because all my pots are too small. Here’s hoping!

    My husband and I have been teaching ourselves how to can and we now have the canning ‘bug’. We’ve been picking wild blackberries for a few days now and plan on making some vinegars and jams with them. I also ordered WS canning cookbook, which comes tomorrow and I CAN (pun intended) not wait to get it! Would love, love, love to win this! :-)

    looking forward to learning to can and jar food. Especially since we have a drought upon us, I think it will be very important to learn and teach my son these ways. If everyone does just a little, it can make a BIG difference!

    I would love to win this set. I have been canning for years and my utensils are more than a little weary. I am so pleased to see the trend towards preserving foods without the chemical toxins that are commercially used

    Oh, I have been eyeing this pan for quite some time now! And I am loving your Agrarian series. I am in the midst of canning and as of today I have made 15 different kinds of jams, preserves, confits, conserves, chutneys and butters. Along with the dilled beans, pickled vegetables, corn relish, etc. etc. Friends gave me two buckets full of wild plums last week and two 5-gallon buckets full of beets this week…so you know what’s happening here in this tiny kitchen! These tools would surely be put to use here. Thank you for sharing.

    I learned to make jam from a kind lady way up in Machias, Maine. She took me under her wing, during the era of taking time off of college to “find” myself and getting and taught me how to make rasberry jam and garlic-dill pickles. People still ask me for some of that delicious sweet pepper relish that she also showed me how to make that summer. So, here I am, up in Northern Vermont, canning the cooler nights away. Tonight was 6 quarts of crushed tomatoes and a giant glass jug of refrigerator pickles!

    Hi! Just canned first peaches of my life-picked them at Eastmount Orchards in Colt’s Neck NJ. Loved the process but tools were awkward. Would so appreciate the Kilner Jam Kit so I can keep up with the wonderful food coming out of Brooklyn, New York!!!!

    Retired and once again able to devote time and energy to gardening, I’ve re-learned the pleasure and rewards of home canning. My new Kentucky home has returned me to the rhythms of a rural life. A life which I enjoyed as a new wife and mother in a place many miles away from here, and many years ago.

    I just had my first canning lesson two weeks ago, and I’m itching to get going on Oregon’s bounty of fruits to preserve! I have my eyes on some chutney and fruit butter recipes I’m longing to try.

    We’ve been busy all summer teaching our city-dwelling niece and nephew about where food comes from, how it’s grown, and how the processed foods they love are made. We’ve visited local farms and picked tons of fruits and vegetables, and planted, grown and picked our own in container gardens in the backyard. We’d love to continue the lessons by preserving some of the berries we’ve picked–this equipment would allow that to happen!

    This would be incredible! I’ve just started canning produce from my community garden plot in Boston. Thus far, I’ve put up tomatillo salsa, roasted tomato sauce, and pickled green cherry tomatoes (for martinis!) This set would be perfect for the sweeter side of preserving!

    These jam pans are just lovely! Isn’t canning the ultimate way to feel good about the bounty of our lands…ahhhh, it just slows everything down and puts us in place!
    So grateful.
