Ball Harvest Pro Sauce Maker
What's to love: An easy way to make sauce out of fresh tomatoes from the garden.
What does it do: When pureeing tomatoes or other garden produce for salsas, dips, etc., an extra wide input chute means less prepping of vegetables. The sauce maker also has a silicone wiper inside that rotates to reduce clogging and maximize the yield from the produce. It comes with standard and coarse screens, a tamper and cleaning brush. List price is $149.99.

What's to love: Don't know what to do with all that zucchini, but hate the idea of another tool clogging the kitchen drawer? Make vegetable noodles. This spiral slicer is compact and another great tool for preparing produce from the garden.
What does it do: It comes with three stainless-steel blades that are easy to change for thin, shoestring or thick ribbon spirals. The blades nest with the slicer for easy storage. In addition to zucchini, the hand-held device works on carrots, beets, small potatoes and more. It sells for $24.99.
