I am a huge Ball® Home Canning Products fan. Not only do I use Ball® Home Canning Products for all my canning recipes but I use them in my everyday life.
I drink my cold brewed iced coffee out of Ball® mason jars every single day of the week.
I use my Ball mason jars for storage and decoration around the house.
Ball mason jars are perfect to bake and serve single serve dessert recipes for the holidays. Like this Eggnog Cheesecake Dessert in a Jar recipe.
And I of course use them when I am canning my home canned goods.
Have you seen the new Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards
These new Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards are going to make canning so much easier for people who want to can delicious recipes but want a canning process that is extremely easy.
These easy recipe cards take the guess work out of making your favorite canning recipes. Each Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards come with pre-measured spices and seasoning for a small batch.
You can try any of the Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards and not have to worry about ending up with a large amount of a canning recipe you might not enjoy.
The first Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards recipe I have tried is the Caribbean Fruit Salsa Mix.
The Caribbean Fruit Salsa Mix Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards comes with pre-measured and perfect amounts of spices you would expect to find in a Caribbean Salsa recipe.
The Ball® & McCormick® Caribbean Salsa Recipe Card includes the perfect amounts of crushed chipotle pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, thyme leaves, ground allspice, and ground nutmeg that gives this canned fruit salsa recipe a Caribbean flavor.
The Caribbean Fruit Salsa recipe is made with a combination of fresh pineapple, fresh or frozen mango and fresh or frozen papaya. This recipe is a rare one in that you can play around with the amounts of each of the fruit used.
For example you could change the flavor and texture of the Caribbean Fruit Salsa recipe by changing the amounts of pineapple fruit used to make one batch.
Then the next time you make it you could increase the amount of mango fruit used while decreasing the amount of pineapple fruit used to make a more mango flavored Caribbean salsa recipe with the next batch you make.
As long as you stick to the amounts of fruit called for on the recipe card which calls for a combination of 9 cups of pineapple, mango and papaya. Don't like papaya? Leave it out all together and use more mango instead.
At the moment the Ball® & McCormick® Recipe Cards are only available in the flavors I have listed below. You can't buy them in the stores yet as far as I have seen and diligently searched online for.
