    All American Pressure Canner, Ball (or Kerr -- same company) jars, and LOTS of towels. 

    Oh, and as many Ball books as you can procure.  Theirs are my favorite.

    They make different sizes.  I think mine is the 23 quart.  It seems to be perfect for my needs, at least thus far. 

    Have you done any water bath canning?  For high-acid foods, water bath is a VERY inexpensive way to get started.  Seriously, like less than $30 will get you going.

    I use the ball kit for water bath canning. Haven't got the $$ for a pressure canner yet.
