Today I’m guest posting on one of my favorite blogs, Food in Jars by Marisa McClellan. I mentioned to her that I had never canned anything before, and she was nice enough to send me her great new book and give me a gentle push to try canning for the first time. The post I’m doing for her today is about my first experience. (Spoiler Alert: It was awesome and I’m hooked on canning now.)
Here’s the link to the post on Food in Jars… go check it out! And if you’re visiting here because you read the post and wanted to check out Foodie’s Arsenal, welcome! I hope you get involved with what we’re doing here.
Thanks, foodies.


I came over here from Food in Jars. I’m a big fan of that blog and am a big canner myself. Love your blog. I’ve already bookmarked it!
welcome to the community!
Reading through, we have some things in common. I also grew up in PA Dutch Country (York) and I now live in Virginia (Charlottesville). So glad to have stumbled upon your blog!
