But for me, the reality of dozens of jars does not mesh with my eating habits. It's just me and my wife and occasional guests. I just don't need 50 jars of Pineapple Jelly or row after row of Pickles.
Truth is I usually only "put up" (love the jargon of canning as well) no more than half a dozen jars jars of anything at a time. Any more and it just seems like work. Small batch means I can usually finish a project in no more than an hour of hands on work and usually less. One of the biggest advantages to small batch canning is that you can usually do the work around making a pie, batch of cookies or a big old roast.
Well, take a look. The page is a work in progress, I usually can only 1 or 2 new items a month (but Pasta Marinara Sauce will go up at least every other month). Hope I can give you a few good ideas for adding a batch of something for your own pantry...
Very Much a work in progress. Check back often for frequent updates… Keep scrolling down dozens and dozens of recipes here...

 Sriracha Ketchup This turns the magical Red Rooster sauce into a whole new condiment! The ketchup recipe adds little hints of tangy vinegar, extra Earthy Garlic flavors, Sweet to pair with the heat with added Honey and finally gets that deep dark color with the addition of full of flavor Worcestershire Sauce! |
 Sweet Root Beer BBQ Sauce Crock Pot Easy The root beer cooks down into a thick syrup, infusing even the few bits of Jalapeno with a sweetness that appeals to the kids at your table. The main ingredient is plain old ketchup, just a matter of mixing in a few items and allowing them to simmer to the desired thickness. |
