Water Bath Canner with Rack & Core Canning Tool Set (1 Count x 1)
Cooking food
Large-capacity water bath canner with a jar rack, plus the core canning tool set — jar lifter, wide-mouth funnel, magnetic lid lifter, bubble remover / headspace gauge, and jar wrench. Water bath processing is for HIGH-ACID foods only: jams, jellies, pickles, fruit, and properly acidified tomatoes. Low-acid foods (vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood) must be processed in a pressure canner.
Wide mouth high quality mason jars (12 Pack x 1)
Cooking food
The product is a 12-pack of 32 oz wide mouth mason jars with airtight lids and bands. The jars are made of heat-resistant, USDA-certified food-grade glass, making them suitable for brewing and fermentation that requires hot water. The lids have an airtight seal and are made of BPA-free plastics, preventing leaks and rusting over time. The jars can be used for various purposes, such as brewing kombucha, sun tea, cider, and kefir, as well as for food preservation, such as pickling and canning.
Canning Lids & Bands - Wide Mouth Replacement Pack (48 Count x 1)
Cooking food
Wide-mouth canning lids with sealing compound plus reusable screw bands. Lids are single-use for canning and are the one canning supply that must be re-bought every season — and the first to go scarce when the harvest peaks.
Pure Canning & Pickling Salt (16 Ounce x 1)
Shelf Stable Food
Pure granulated canning and pickling salt with no iodine and no anti-caking agents. Table salt and mineral salts cloud brine and can darken preserved food; canning recipes are written for pure salt.
Fruit Pectin for Jams & Jellies (24 Ounce x 1)
Shelf Stable Food
Powdered fruit pectin for setting jams, jellies, and preserves. Shelf-stable and the difference between a set jam and fruit syrup on the first batch.
Citric Acid - Food Grade Canning Acidifier (12 Ounce x 1)
Shelf Stable Food
Food-grade citric acid for acidifying tomatoes and other borderline-acid foods before water bath processing. Adding measured acid is the step that makes water bath canning of tomatoes safe — it is not optional and not a flavor choice.
Dissolvable Canning Labels (1 Count x 1)
Shelf Stable Food
Dissolvable canning jar labels that wash off cleanly when the jar is reused, unlike adhesive labels. Dating every jar is what makes pantry rotation possible.
Granulated White Sugar, Non GMO (144 Ounce x 1)
Shelf Stable Food
This supply consists of two one-gallon buckets of pure, granulated white sugar, providing a substantial quantity of this essential kitchen staple. The sugar is undiluted and free of additives or fillers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including baking, sweetening beverages, and general culinary use.
Each portion is contained within a durable, resealable bucket designed to maintain freshness and provide convenient storage. These containers allow for easy access while protecting the contents from moisture and external contaminants in a pantry or professional kitchen environment.
Home Canning Guide - Tested Recipes & Safe Processing Times (1 Count x 1)
Communication, Readiness and offline information
The beginner canning reference: tested recipes with validated processing times, headspace, and acidity guidance. Home canning safety depends on following a tested recipe rather than improvising — this is the single most important item in a first canning kit.
The Canning Starter Kit gives you everything to turn summer's harvest into shelf-stable food for months ahead. Whether you're preserving tomatoes from the farm stand or making jam from backyard fruit, this kit includes the tested recipes and food-grade supplies that make safe canning straightforward.
Inside you'll find:

- Fruit pectin, dissolvable labels, and sugar
This kit is designed for first-time canners who want confidence that every jar seals safely. The guide walks you through each step, from prep to the satisfying ping of lids cooling on the towel. Perfect for families looking to reduce waste, build food security, and enjoy homemade preserves year-round.
