expand a small idea?

...me the chance to can when I walk thru the door at the end of a workday. I would most likely strain it and put it on the stove to bring to a high temp before canning but I like the idea that it would be almost done when I got home. Is this a direction I should head? or leave this idea in the pot? If nothing else I found a faster way (for me) to having risotto on a weeknite instead of a weekend.
