Ball Jamming Prize Pack Giveaway
I have a big favor to ask. It’s a simple favor and in exchange you will be entered to win an awesome giveaway sponsored by Ball Canning & Recipes.
All you have to do is answer one simple question and I’ll get to the details in a moment.
You may have noticed during this past summer Ball introduced a new product that is going to revolutionize the world of jam and jelly making.
Enter the
Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker
Image Source FreshPreserving.com Ball Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker
As it is and has been for many, many years when making a batch of jam or jelly you must stand over the stove, stirring and timing to cook each batch you make. If your batch is not cooked for the proper amount of time with the proper amount of pectin the biggest problems a home preserver can face is a runny batch of jam or jelly.
That in its-self is not a huge tragedy. Most of the time you can still eat and enjoy the jam or jelly but it will drip and slide off whatever you are eating it on. It can also be a big disappointment after spending the money and investing the time it takes to make a batch of jam or jelly.
Getting that perfect set is what makes a batch of jam or jelly a success.
Being able to spread a thick spoonful of fresh made jam on a piece of warm toast or a biscuit, without having to wear most of it down the front of your shirt is what makes it all worth it in my opinion.
With the Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker (affiliate link) the guesswork is taken out of the picture.
You can have a perfect batch of jam or jelly in just 30 minutes. Simply add your ingredients and walk away. That’s it. Put your jam or jelly in your prepared Ball canning jars and process in a hot water bath and your done.
The good folks at Ball have developed 32 variations of 10 jam or jelly recipes just for the Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker.
There are three types of recipes available on the Fresh Preserving site for the Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker depending on your sugar needs, Full Sugar, Low or Reduced Sugar and No Sugar.
Currently these recipes are
- Apple Jelly
- Berry Jam
- Grape Jelly
- Peach Jam
- Pear Jam
- Pepper Jelly
- Plum Jam
- Pomegranate Jelly
- Strawberry Jam
- Sweet Cherry Jam
Ball would love some input from my readers in developing some new recipe flavors and or fruit combinations for the Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker.
At the beginning of November they will compile the suggestions that you make here in the comments on my blog and run a poll on their Facebook page.
Based on the top picks in the poll they will be formulating new recipes for the Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker.
Isn’t that exciting!
And just for helping Ball out you are going to be entered to win this Jamming Prize Pack Giveaway.

I’d love to see a recipe for Peach-Orange jam. I used to have one, and the family loved it. But, over the years, it vanished.
I Like Ball Canning on FB. My favorite jam that you would like too is Cherry Plum Jam. We used to pick cherries in NM on Father’s Day and the plum were ripe on my neighbor’s tree. I shared this jam with her.
Rhubarb would be a nice change.
I’d love to see Peach/Strawberry. One of my favorite drink flavors, but never seems to be incorporated any where else. I liked Ball on FB. Thank you for the give-a-way.

Seedless black raspberry jam!
Apple Pie Jam is my very favorite
mango jalapeno
Blueberry pomegranate would be an awesome choice, I love that juice!
Ive been making homemade jams and jellies for 3 years now. Every year I try a new flavor to add to my list. This year my new flavor was Carmel Apple Pie Jelly and it was delicious.
Pomegranate jelly. I love pomegranetes. thanks
Strawberry and rhubarb jam or a tomato and bacon jam

Pomegranate jelly. I love pomegranates. thanks
Raspberry Peach Lime is a delicious flavor combination. Would love a jam in that flavor.
Seedless Blackberry and ANYTHING. We have SCADS of blackberry bushes along our fencelines and throughout the back pasture. The boys collect them, but I cannot eat them because of the seeds (I have diverticulitis). I would love to make jam/jelly out of them so I can enjoy them too!
Carrot Cake jam
3 Berry Jam-raspberry/ blackberry, to make boysenberry. Ball already “Liked” for extra enrty

Pineapple-Pear is one of my favorites!
I have been making jelly and jams for years. Average 100 pints a summer. Our flavors are some crazy ones we do not make same ones every year. I saw there was an elderberry one already listed. Let me just say would be great if someone would stem the berries for me first. My husband picks them by the 5 gallon buckets full.
Some that we have to search for recipes and it is tough to convert. It is tough to convert the old fashion recipes to use sure jell or any pectin.
Tomato
Crabapple
Beet
Peach – Apple
Quince

Well this is just a few of the old ones we have hard time with recipes. Thanks I am looking forward to using the maker.

I would love to see a Guava jam I am from Florida but now live in MI. it would be a taste of home for me!!
I’d like to see more jam recipes overall; something with mangos would be wonderful. I already like the Ball page on Facebook (of course!).
I have the Ball Jam Maker and it is wonderful for small batches. Every recipe I tried out of the accompanying recipe book turned out great, but the ones I tried to adapt from other sources (even my Ball books) – not so much. I am glad to hear they’re working on new recipes.
I would love to try tangerine kiwi jelly — is that possible!!

Red Currant. I have wonderful memories of going with my grandmother to pick the currants and then turning them into jam.
I’d love to see a rhubarb jam, since I have a couple of high producing rhubarb plants. Currant would be nice, as I’ve got a couple currant bushes planted this year, as well.
I think a peach mango jam would be really good or a mango orange pineapple jam. Something nice and tropical so it can be like a getaway in your mouth. Maybe serve it on bread, for a little variance add some spice or do a mango curry jam and serve it with warm naan.
Raspberry Jelly…black or red…are my favorites. I’d love to see any easy recipe for these!
Peach and raspberry!

strawberry cherry
Seedless Raspberry Jam is the favorite in this house
I would love to see anything with blueberry. Also, (this might would be considered to go under plums) but I also would like to see a muscadine jelly. My family gives us lots of muscadines every year.
Strawberry Mango
blackberry or muscadine grapes or lowquats {I have a tree and no idea what to do with them}
Every Christmas since cranberries are in season I give all my friends and family my Christmas Jam with a homemade loaf of bread. And guess what they come back and ask for more jam because it only appears at Christmas. Strawberries and cranberries try it you will like it.
I would select Crab-apple jelly; plum jelly; and pineapple/rhubarb jelly. I made (i.e. lots and lots of
stirring) jelly this past summer and look forward to another productive canning session next year.
How about pineapple jam
My favorite strawberries and cranberries called Christmas Jam. Friends and family receive this and a homemade loaf of bread. They ask for seconds because it is so good and they know it will be 12 months before they can get some more.
