This giveaway is now closed

As all of us here at Focus Organic know, eating organic and local is as good as it gets. Some of us have our own organic gardens, others shop at local farmer's markets. But what should we do in the winter, if we can't get local produce? Some of you know the answer... home canning.
Ball, maker of the mason jar, is celebrating its 125th anniversary (Happy Anniversary!), and the Ball Jar is older than the ballpoint pen, the zipper and the teddy bear (just an interesting tidbit!). Ball has come out with a fresh preserving kit to help get you started on home canning, and they were kind enough to donate one to our celebration, so we can celebrate together. ($59.99 value)
Features and Benefits of the Kit:
- 21-quart water canner includes essential tools for canning fruits, salsas, pickles, jams and jellies and more:
- Newly designed chrome plated rack resists corrosion and prevents small jars from falling through rungs for safe use year after year
- Four piece utensil set with jar lifter, lid lifter, funnel and bubble remover and headspace tool that help to fill jars quickly and safely
- New design features stylish blue porcelain color, vertical sidewall, and limited edition 125th Anniversary logo fired into the enamel
- Enamel coated steel base is non-porous for easy cleaning and will not react with foods

Giveaway Details
- Entrants must live in the U.S.
- Contest will run from today, April 22nd, until 11 PM Central time (Midnight EST) on, Saturday May 9th
- Winner will be chosen randomly, announced, and contacted on Sunday, May 10th

Would love to try Santa Fe Salsa!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:27 am
My oldwater bath canner is worn out! I really need a new one with a better rack to hold the jars so they won't tilt over during processing. The recipe I'd like to try is Multigrain Pancakes with Blackberry Maple Syrup. the blackberries just have blossums now so I can get prepared for summer berry picking.

Bread and Butter Pickle recipe sounds good. love pickles
May 7th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I don't even know where to get black raspberries, but the jam sounds delectable. I LOVE raspberries. I have great memories of canning when I was a kid and I would love to teach my family that important self sufficiency skill. Thanks for the chance to enter!

Balsamic Vinegar-Strawberry Jam, this is the recipe I would like to try.

I hope to have some extra tomatoes from my garden this year so I would like to try the Mango Tango Salsa.
May 9th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
My Grandmother always canned her foods. I never really thought about doing it myself until I had children and started making my own baby food (food allergies in my oldest). This would be a great starter set to help me move onto the next step in the process - canned goods for the whole family. My daughter and I already agreed to try our own Mild Fiesta Salsa from the FreshPreserving site. Whether it lasts more than a day is yet to be seen. Thanks for the contest.
May 9th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I would make the bread and butter pickle recipe....love pickles.
