Get Ready to Get Canning!

I’ve been teasing about something big the past few days on my Facebook and Instagram feeds… and it’s almost here!

This Saturday is International Can It Forward day! On August 16th housewives, househusbands, helpful kids, homesteaders, foodies and preppers will all join together to preserve the summer’s bounty. There are lots of ways to preserve the abundance in your summer garden: dehydration, vacuum sealing, freezing and fermenting, but that classic Ball jar has a place in every pantry to hold the nutrition and taste we all love in the form of jams, pickles and more.

I hope you’ll join us this Saturday for Can It Forward Day! AND to help you out in your quest to preserve more food this year we’re hosting a GIVEAWAY later this week. Just check out all these awesome goodies! Pocket may seem nonplussed by posing in that box, but I’M pretty stoked about trying out all these new gadgets. I already have a mini batch of patty pan pickles fermenting in one of these awesome green jars (that just happen to match my kitchen decor perfectly!).

Fiber Friday will step aside this week in place of a review and giveaway post: you too could get excited by one of these boxes landing in your kitchen! So, stay tuned, get harvesting, pick out some recipes and get ready to Can it Forward! See you back here Friday, August 15th!
