Inspired Me to Start Selling Locally

What started as a hobby is now turning into something more, and I credit this guide for helping me bridge that gap. I’ve been canning jams and pickles for years, but never saw it as something I could share or sell. This gave me practical tips on scaling up, labeling properly, and even approaching markets. I also appreciated the balance between creativity and food safety, which can sometimes be overlooked. I feel more confident presenting my products knowing I’ve followed professional standards. It’s also just made the whole process feel more purposeful and connected.

Even more ideas for canning

I listened to the beginners guide to canning with the same author to learn the basics of canning and I got hooked. This audiobook gives nice tweaks on how to add a twist to your recipes with either herbs or other flavors to really enhance the flavors and made it taste even better. Highly recommend this series of books

Inspiring Ideas for Going Beyond Basic Canning

This audiobook had me thinking differently about water bath canning—not just as a hobby, but as a creative outlet and even a side hustle. I appreciated how it went beyond recipes to explore flavor layering, unique ingredients, and ways to build community through preserving.

It’s motivating without being overwhelming, and I found myself taking notes throughout.

Helped Me Turn a Hobby Into Something Bigger

I picked this up after getting hooked on canning during the summer, and it totally shifted how I see it. I started out just making jam for fun, but this book opened my eyes to selling at local markets and even connecting with other canners in my area. It’s not just about recipes—it got me thinking more sustainably and creatively too. I’m actually planning my first little booth next month. Super inspiring and practical!

Turns Out I Can Do This After All

I always thought canning was too complicated or “only for pros, but this audiobook broke it down in a way that actually made sense. I’ve already canned my first batch of salsa and it turned out amazing! It also got me thinking about how I could maybe turn this into a little side hustle. Super inspiring without being overwhelming. If you’re even a little curious about canning, this is the perfect place to start.

More Than Just Jars!

This book blends technique and inspiration beautifully. It’s not just about canning. it’s about building community, exploring creativity and turning a hobby into something more. I found myself imagining all the ways a simple jar could mean so much more.

Took My Canning to a Whole New Level

Great for anyone who already knows the basics but wants to take things further.
