Pickles!
Who doesn’t love pickles?!?
Who doesn’t like pickles!?! Actually, I don’t care for pickles, but when you have an abundance of cucumbers coming out of the garden each morning, the best way to preserve them (IMO) is to pickle them. Bread and butter….dill….sweet….the pantry is packed!
Now, I know you don’t need a fancy water bath canner to make pickles, but let me tell you, the Ball FreshTech Water Bath Canner has been a lifesaver. Not only can the canner rest on the countertop (which was extra comforting when we had a glass-top stove) but the kitchen doesn’t heat up while processing foods in the electric canner.
Why we LOVE the Ball FreshTech Water Bath Canner:
- Its electric (boogie woogie woogie) and keeps the kitchen nice and cool
- It has a water draining spigot for draining the canner (so no heavy lifting!)
- It’s easy to use and heats up quickly
- It came with a Ball FreshTech recipe book
Thinking about giving canning a go? Make sure you have everything you need before you get started:
- Canning Jars (come in multiple sizes so make sure you get the size that matches your recipe)
- Canning Lids
- Canning Rings
- Canning Accessories (funnel, jar lifter, bubble remover, etc.)
- Pickle crisp and pickle spices (optional)
