Meal Creations
I grew up in a family of canners. Some of my earliest memories are of
my mother and grandmother plunging their arms into deep vats of cold
water while peeling and pitting peaches that had been dunked into a
steaming hot pot. My job was to fit those peaches into quart-sized
Ball
®
brand canning jars, keeping them upright so they looked pretty from
the outside. I can still smell the sweet ripe fruit, feel the hot steam and
hear the chattering laughter that accompanied those days. And I can still
taste the fabulous canned peaches we opened during the long winters.
Today, my life is very busy and I don’t have weekday afternoons to
devote to canning. I also don’t have the years of canning knowledge
at my fingertips the way the women in my family used to. That’s why
I’m so pleased to see the Ball
®
brand Automatic Home Canning System.
It takes all the guesswork out of canning and gives me perfect results,
while maintaining that unique satisfaction that comes with canning
your own favorites.
I feel confident knowing that each of the canning recipes provided
with the Ball
®
brand Automatic Home Canning System have been
thoroughly tested by the experts here at Jarden Home Brands. With
recipes covering the six most popular canning categories, I can be all set
with a full-range of homegrown flavor in my pantry.
With these time-tested favorites at my fingertips, I have everything I
need to create fabulous meal solutions for my family. While I’m always
happy to use my own canned goods directly off the pantry shelf, I also
love being creative, so you’ll find me using my pantry as a jumping off
point. With a couple of extra ingredients and a little imagination, I’m
able to create numerous recipes for each home-canned jar.
The following Meal Creations offer favorite recipes within each of
the categories from appetizers through desserts. But feel free to
tap your own creativity and create other ideas that will impress
your family and friends.
Let us know what you come up with – we’d love to hear from you!
