If you’re new to canning, here’s a beginner-friendly shopping list of essential tools to help you get started:

1. Canning Jars & Lids

✅ Mason Jars – Choose pint, quart, or half-pint jars based on what you’ll be canning.
✅ Lids & Bands – Ensure you get the right size (regular or wide mouth). Lids are single-use, but bands are reusable.

2. Canner (Based on the Type of Canning)

🔹 Water Bath Canner – For high-acid foods like jams, jellies, pickles, and tomatoes.
🔹 Pressure Canner – Required for low-acid foods like meats, vegetables, and soups to ensure food safety.

3. Canning Tools & Accessories

✅ Jar Lifter – Safely removes hot jars from the canner.
✅ Canning Funnel – Helps pour liquids and food into jars without spills.
✅ Bubble Remover & Headspace Tool – Removes trapped air and ensures proper headspace.
✅ Lid Magnet or Tongs – Makes handling hot lids easier.
✅ Towels or dish drying mats to protect your counter tops as your jars cool down.

4. Additional Essentials

✅ Large Stockpot – For cooking your recipes to be canned. Note: Avoid aluminum or cast iron as they are “reactive” to acidic foods and will leave a metallic taste. Stainless steel, glass or well enameled pots are best.
✅ Pectin (for Jams & Jellies) – Liquid or powdered, depending on your recipe.
✅ Citric Acid or Bottled Lemon Juice – Helps maintain acidity levels for safe canning.
✅ Pickling Salt (Non-Iodized) – Essential for pickling to avoid cloudiness in brine.
✅ Vinegar (5% Acidity) – Used in pickling and some tomato canning recipes.

5. Storage & Organization

✅ Labels & Marker – To date and label jars for easy tracking.
✅ Jar Storage Rack or Shelf – Keeps your canned goods organized.
