Let’s get our jars ready for canning season! Before I start canning, I go through all of my jars and this is my process!

Organize the Jars by Size:

• Arrange all your jars in order of size.

Inspect the Jars:

• Check for chips on the rims.
• Make sure the jars are clean and free of any old labels.

Prepare the Jars:

• Put lids on all of the jars. This way, you can grab your jars and go without needing to search for lids.

Organize Extra Lids:

• Sort the extra lids by size.
• Inspect them to ensure they are usable.

Make a List:

• Write down the jar sizes and lid sizes you’ll need more of.
• I give away a lot of my canned goods, so I often need more small and medium-sized jars.

Restock Supplies:

• Next time you’re at the store, pick up the items on your list to keep your stock ready.
• To keep my budget, I often grab one or two canning items each time I grocery shop vs buying them all at once.

Nothing is worse than starting to can and finding out you’re missing supplies while hot jam is bubbling on the stove!  This process takes the first step out of the way!
