Hi Achternaam,

We recently got word that Fillmore Container (a SimplyCanning sponsor) has received some Kerr Wide Mouth Pint Canning Jars, which are ideal for processing salsa, sauces, fruits, and vegetables. These jars are suitable for water bath canning, pressure canning, and freezing food, plus they've been used for storing leftovers in the fridge. Each jar comes with a 2-piece canning lid.

Here are some recipe ideas to get you started, if you need some inspiration!

Freezing Food - New Canning Chat added! Have you ever wondered whether vacuum-sealed freezing or canning is better for preserving food? That's this week's Canning Chat question.

Freezing Corn - I've recently shared the link for canning corn. Some people actually prefer the flavor of frozen corn, so I also have a page on my website with instructions for freezing corn on or off the cob.

Corn Cob Jelly - And don't let those corncobs go to waste either! Corn cob jelly might sound weird, but hey, if add enough sugar, even corncobs can turn out tasty. :)

Canning Peppers - Canned hot or sweet peppers are great for adding flavor to meals, even if the peppers don't keep their crunch after processing. Don't forget to wear gloves if you're slicing hot peppers!
