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.
