FISHERS, Ind., Feb. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Jarden Home Brands, makers of Ball® brand home canning products, today announced the introduction of six new items joining the fresh preserving family in 2016. Knowing more than half (57%) of Americans already have at least one mason jar in their home, Jarden is offering canners, gardeners and food lovers even more ways to eliminate food waste and eat fresh year-round.

"This year we're excited to offer even more resources to make preserving simple and easy for everyone. Whether an avid home canner, urban gardener, meal prepper or simply someone who finds themselves with a few too many tomatoes after a trip to the farmers market, we have a solution," says Janine Moore, Senior Brand Manager, Fresh Preserving at Jarden Home Brands. "Our community is constantly providing feedback on what they need in their kitchens, from products that help reduce food waste to better organization. We've listened and are thrilled to be able to provide something to satisfy everyone."

The following new introductions will be available online and in stores this spring:

Collection Elite(®) Series:



    --  The popular Ball(®) Collection Elite(®) Color Series delivers a pop of
        vibrant blue with a new line of colored jars in several never-before
        released sizes: Wide Mouth Pint and Regular Mouth Half Pint. Wide Mouth
        Quart will also be available as a popular size favored by 30% of users.
        All are available in 4-packs.
    --  Created to complement the new colored jars, the Collection Elite Color
        Series Lids with Bands are now available in a beautiful metallic blue in
        both Regular Mouth and Wide Mouth. The most important piece of equipment
        when canning, preservers can now replace their used lids with a colorful
        top. Perfect for gifting, recipe organization and DIY food projects,
        these lids with bands add a nice metallic touch.
    --  Also joining the Collection Elite Series is the new Jam Jar, back this
        year by popular demand. The unique rounded shape jar embossed with fruit
        embellishments was discontinued in 2007 and is now available and perfect
        for homemade jams, jellies and marmalades and other smaller batch
        recipes.

All new Collection Elite Series items maintain all of the modern standards for home canning and, like all Ball brand canning jars and lids with bands, are Made in America and BPA-free.

FreshTECH Family:


    --  The fourth countertop appliance in the brand's FreshTECH line offers an
        easy solution for making tomato sauce - the #3 most searched canning
        recipe on FreshPreserving.com. The HarvestPro(TM) Sauce Maker is an
        efficient tool that can puree up to 15-quarts of fresh tomatoes in just
        20 minutes and is equipped with a special recipe guide. Not just for
        tomatoes, the appliance can make quick and easy work of pureeing squash
        for soup and apples for applesauce. The recipe guide also shares ideas
        for homemade baby food, salsas and other spreads like guacamole and
        hummus.

Home Décor & Simple Storage:


    --  The #2 use for mason jars outside of canning is storage, with jars often
        converted into containers for salads, dressings and dry ingredients or
        used as vases for centerpieces. The new Super Wide Mouth Half Gallon
        Decorative Jar is the perfect vessel for flour, sugar, cookies and more,
        made with a push-top lid for ideal pantry storage and designed to give
        you easier access to the contents of your jar.
    --  The Pour & Measure Storage Cap helps makes mason jar storage simpler and
        cleaner with a specifically designed pouring spout and unique measuring
        cap closure, ideal for both dry and liquid ingredients. Available for
        purchase as a single cap which fits atop any Wide Mouth jar or as a cap
        on a Wide Mouth quart jar.

All products will be available on the newly relaunched FreshPreservingStore.com, the first place to get the latest in Ball brand canning products, and retailers nationwide. The new site includes twice as many canning products than before, including every single Ball® and Kerr® item currently available today.
