100+ Meal in a Jar Canning Recipes
Heat and Eat Meals on Your Pantry Shelf
Canning meal-in-a-jar recipes is the ultimate meal prep! These tasty, nutritious recipes are easy to grab and eat, whether you’re dealing with a busy workday or a power outage.
Many home canners start their canning journey by water bath canning jam or pickles, sometimes moving up to pressure canning fresh vegetables from the garden. This is a whole different ball game.
These recipes will leave you with a whole meal rather than just individual ingredients. In today’s busy world, this can make a huge difference in sticking to home-cooked food.

(Ps. I also run the blog Practical Self Reliance, which has information on all manner of food preservation techniques (cheesemaking, salt curing, fermenting) as well as just about everything else you’d need to learn to be self-reliant in this modern world. It has its own substack as well, and you can subscribe to practical self-reliance separately as well. That newsletter comes out weekly and covers canning, as well as everything else.)
Thank you for recommending Angie's book. It has some fantastic recipes. The ones you are providing are very good as well and I keep them on hand.
I love you Ashley. Every recipe I have cooked from you has been fabulous!
