Theres an awful lot of interest in canning out there now, Horinek said.  It s so neat that people are interested in canning, because its a passion of mine.   According to a May 27, 2009 New York Times article, canning equipment sales by the Jarden company, which makes Ball and Kerr canning supplies, increased more than 50 percent from 2008 to 2009 Horinek thinks the recession has contributed to interest in canning, because people are looking for ways to save money.

Home canning jars and equipment are reusable. The only single-use items for canning are ingredients and lids. It saves you a lot of money to can your own food, Horinek said.
