Pop, Seal, and Savor the Summer Bounty

Howdy neighbors! There’s no feeling quite like the gentle pop of a new seal on a freshly canned jar. This July, when the garden’s bounty is spilling over, now’s the time to gather your supplies and savor every summer flavor. Here at State Road Hardware, we keep a full stock of Ball Jars, plus Ms. Wages mix packets for pickles, relishes, and salsas that taste like home.

Whether you’re preserving heirloom tomatoes, tangy cukes, or sweet summer peaches, making your own canned goods means quality you can trust. Ball Jars’ tough glass and precision lids give you airtight seals season after season. Our Ms. Wages mixes streamline spice blends so you can focus on filling jars, not measuring out half a dozen spices. Our pressure canners make preserving the flavor of vegetables and meats a breeze, and our easy-to-use water bath canners for jellies, jams, and chutneys let you seal in the sweet tastes of summer with ease, just like grandma used to do—without all the guesswork or fuss.

To help y’all get started, we recommend https://www.ballmasonjars.com/canning-and-preserving-101.html for a thorough walkthrough of basic techniques. Right now, July’s sunny days make cooling jars a breeze and ensure ingredients are fresh-picked.  We can’t wait to see the jars you fill and the stories you’ll pass down around the table!
