When I was growing up, my family had an Italian prune plum tree in the backyard, which multiplied fruitfully every summer. Some summers it gave so much that we couldn't eat or give away the bounty fast enough. So, fueled by equal parts desperation and inspiration, we started canning – an adventure that continued for many summers until the tree finally gave up the ghost. Fast forward many more years, and this time my next brush with canning included more fruits and vegetables. Here are some of my favorite recipes, nods to canning equipment and essentials, and a few designs that pay homage to the humble art of canning and jamming (for good measure). ;)Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no extra charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

These are my favorites from Nespresso. I personally have the Vertuo Next Machine and I am in love with it. I purchased mine in 2021 and never had trouble with it. I love that I can connect it with my phone and lets me know if needs cleaning or if something is wrong with the machine. For me the cleaning part notification is a huge plus because let's be serious who remembers to descaling their machine every 3 months? Another reason why I choose Nespresso versus other brand is because they always have deals or promotions. I always get 10 or more sleeves and I usually get free mugs, glasses, plus every order comes with free samples. Recycling is free of charge as the UPS label is prepaid.
