We are newly married and our great love for organic gardening has given us a newfound love of preserving & canning! Something about tending the earth and being able to reap its benefits all year long through the art of canning is absolutely mesmerizing. A set like this would make my husband flip upside-down and backwards! He’d love it!
How simple and healthy life could be if only more people could leave behind the world of “processed” and “pre-packaged” and get back to good, wholesome basics to discover that “do-it-yourself” is both fun and utterly rewarding. Kudos to Williams Sonoma for fostering and promoting a life of sustainability!
Looking forward to canning some tomatoes that I grew in my garden!

Looking forward to preserving some of the fresh picked berries/fruit from the summer.
One of the best things about the end of summer was the glut of ripe tomatoes from our garden. I remember helping my mom jar them and storing them for the coming winter months. The shelves and shelves of tomatoes going through the winter, being transformed into tomato sauces, tomatoe soup and the best thing of all homemade ketchup!! I would love to be able to store the ketchup. I make it now, but because I don’t have a canning set can only make one jar at a time–2 week shelf life.
I can most all of our food from our garden, but I haven’t mastered jellies and jams. This would be a great incentive hopefully to fullproof, no fail perfect jellies and jams.
My mother-in-law has been dying to teach me some of her canning recipes. It sure would be a great bonding activity for the two of us!

I like to find something fun to can based on what is in season and in abundance, I do strawberry jam, fruit butters, chutneys, apricot-cherry jam. If peaches come in this year (last year, no peaches!!!), peach jam and butter. At Christmas, cranberry chutney and onion confit. Had too much lemon juice so canned lemonade concentrate. I learned to can about 5 years ago and love preserving the season. Pressure canning still seems too much, but love doing the water bath canning!

I’ve never made jam before, but I’d love to try!
I’ve canned with friends in the past and loved it. I don’t have my own set but, if I did, I would make jalapeño jelly to smear onto hot-from-the-oven homemade buttermilk biscuits or cornbread. Yum!
Pickled beets! My favorite
Love canning season!!! Have already done the “dilly beans” and will be canning right through the season until the last green tomato comes in. Thanks for a great giveaway chance!
I’ve canned a couple thing already – cherry rhubarb jam and strawberry jam. What I am really looking forward to canning, though, is a new recipe I found for strawberry peach jam.
I grew up canning with my grandmother. She canned everything from icicle pickles to tomato butter and pears and peaches. Not only do I have great memories of canning with my grandmother, but also great memories of eating the canned goods with her in the winter. There is nothing that compares to her canned pears and peaches!
I’ve already canned Strawberry-Lemonade Concentrate, Strawberry Jam, Sweet Cherry Jam and Preserves, Whole Sweet Cherries and Strawberry-Lemon Marmalade. I am currently making Raspberry Jam and will also can whole raspberries and raspberry pie filling. Next will be tart cherries, peaches, nectarines and blueberries. Come fall, will be grapes and apples. From my garden, I will can tomatoes, tomato sauce, pasta sauce, salsa, and I will try my hand at green beans. I LOVE summertime in Michigan!!!
I want to can all the summer fruits. All the berries, peaches and cherries……..I just love it all….
Maybe some pickles too*

I would absolutely love to win this canning set. I have never actually canned anything myself, but I used to help my mom as a little girl. My sister cans a lot of things (and she’s younger than I), and I’m jealous!
I am looking forward to doing some canning of my own. I go to the local farmer’s markets each week with a few of my friends and shop for whatever is in season. One of them has a garden and has already shared zucchini, basil, dill, and kale with me. Last week she gave me some salsa that she made that was DELISH!
I would also visit the “pick your own” farm nearby and get peaches and other fruits to make jams. Please select me! I love WS. Thank you.
I’ve already put up a bushel of peaches and several pounds of blueberries! (Here in the south, our fruit comes in early.) Would also love to do some onion jam and pickles.

We’re growing lots of peppers so I’d love to learn how to preserve them! I’m new at all this! 🙂
I want to make fingered citron preserves.
I’ve just moved to Yuba County, CA and would love to spend the summer making jelly, jams and chutneys with all the farm fresh produce. I could sure use some canning equipment to outfit my new kitchen.

Would use the kit to teach neighbor children how to make jam
I recently graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, CA and I’m looking forward to canning just about anything I can get my hands on. I shop at different farmers markets 4 days a week and now that I have the know how, I look forward to canning for fruits, vegetables, fish, and even wild game. Both of my grandparents have canned for many years and I look forward to following in their footsteps.
I can’t wait for my neighbors berries to be ready to pick so I can make some jams!
I’m in love with jams,jellys and all the gadgets!
strawberries,peaches, nectarines, blueberries, tomatoes. I want to preserve the entire summer!!
I LOVE the Kilner jam pot. Very cool looking and the jars are cute too. I love canning jams and jellies, I began my madness of a hobby last summer and this summer I have already made peach jam, peach jalapeño jam, cherry vanilla jam, strawberry jam and strawberry pineapple jam. I make ALL low sugar jams, just our family preference. I canned a peach-mango salsa for the first time this past weekend and I’m gonna make pickles too as soon as they are ready in the garden. I’m afraid once I started this madness, I can’t stop. I’m addicted! I would love to win this!!!!
I can’t wait to can some peaches!
I am planning to can some peaches and make some orange marmalade
I am so looking forward to making and canning some pickles. It’s been about 30 years since I last made them and I want to start canning with my daughter.
I would love to learn to can. My Grandmother canned pickled beets, piccalilli, bread and butter pickles, pepper relish and vegetables, they looked so beautiful and tasted amazing. Each jar she took out to serve, was like a present to our Family, you could see the pride in her face. My Great Aunt Marion made the most delicious strawberry rhubarb jam! My mouth is watering just thinking of her strawbwrry rhubarb jam on a piece of toast. These are wonderful memories of our senses, taste, smell, seeing and hearing, that bring us right back to when we enjoyed them and the people we enjoyed them with. <3
I’m looking forward to preserving some more squash pickles this summer. Last year was the first I’ve ever had them and I didn’t make enough!

I’m retiring this fall and I have “learn to make jam” on my bucket list. We have such delicious strawberries here in California that it seems a waste not to use them for making jam. I would love this to become a hobby and skill that I can pass on to my adult children and grandchildren to be! I promise to love and appreciate this fabulous set. 🙂
I so want to lean to can so that I will be able to preserve peaches and strawberries and tomatoes with chiles. Something that was second nature to our grandparents has me intimidated but I AM GOING TO LEARN.
My mother has a hearty peach tree and every year I miss my chance to save some for the cold winter. I’d like to can as many peaches as possible, then surprise friends and family throughout the cold months.

Blueberries.
We’re canning cherry pie filling, bread and butter pickles, and 10 kinds of jam. The children, from 2 to 16 years old, all love to help in some part of the canning process. Baby helps wash the fruit in the sink with mom, and the eldest helps remove the hot jars from the canner.
I’m looking forward to canning our Italian prune plums!
I have been canning since I was big enough to stand on a chair and peel peaches and tomatoes. I can about three times a week, and have some worn out equipment. I would love to get your lovely set!
I am looking forward to canning tomato basil sauce and jalapeno jelly. A little bit of a sun-kissed summer to eat in the winter.
We’ve got a lot of plums around here during the summer season – a beautiful variety called “beet plum” for its gorgeous deep red color and delicious sweet and sour flavor. I purchased 4 kilos of the fresh fruit and fixed a very nice marmalade – several bottles full – to make sure all my relatives and friends around here get to sample this delicacy.
Another preserve I’ll prepare is a mixture of a type of jalapeño pepper – a large variety called “cuaresmeño”, deep green-colored and mild-flavored – with fresh carrots. Cut into thin, long, strips and pickled for a few days with a special fine-herb marinade makes for mouth-watering, spicy, salad, just excellent for enhancing meat or poultry dishes.
Pickled green tomatoes and tomatillo sauce!!
I will be making rose geranium jelly from the leaves of my collection of rose scented geraniums. It is so delicate and delicious and the color of a peach’s blush. The only way to get it is to make your own.
I am looking forward to making preserves. My mother and I used to make different ones and swap but she passed away last year so I’m going to make her favorites.

Winning this would be a great start!
I can’t wait to can some blubarb (blueberry and rhubarb) jam!

Lots of jam for friends, neighbors and clients. So far it’s been bumbleberry – strawberry/raspberry/blackberry. Other jams will depend on what is the best organic local fruit available. My neighbor has a plum tree so there is always plum something! It’s been years since I’ve made salsa so perhaps some salsa too.
I sell preserves at the local farmer’s market from goodies I grow or wildcraft. Wild Violet is one of my most popular. Last week I made Rose Petal and Lemon Balm, this week it’s Strawberry Lavender, Blackberry Sage and Maple Blueberry. Peaches will be ready before we know it!
