FISHERS, Ind., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Interest in homesteading food traditions is on the rise, with nearly 40% of Americans expressing interest in home canning, according to a recent survey from ORC International and Jarden Home Brands, makers of Ball® brand home canning products. Meeting the needs of those just learning to preserve while also exciting veteran canners, Jarden Home Brands announces availability of a new countertop appliance that makes it easier than ever to transform fresh foods into delicious recipes and meals, without taking over the stovetop.  The Ball® FreshTECH Electric Water Bath Canner + Multi-Cooker is a plug-in, countertop appliance that makes water bath canning more convenient than ever. This versatile appliance can also be used as a multi-cooker for preparing soups & stews, steaming vegetables, warming beverages and much more, making it the perfect gift for anyone from novice foodie to culinary expert.

"With more consumers growing and buying fresh foods and seeking out new ways to enjoy that produce, we wanted to provide a multi-tasking appliance that not only preserves, but helps transform fresh ingredients into delicious meals."
