Sharing the Art of Canning and Food Preservation

Welcome! I’m Allison Carroll Duffy, and I’ve been canning and preserving food for over 20 years.  It’s a deeply rewarding part of my life, and I love sharing what I know with others.  My goal is to help folks learn how to preserve delicious foods safely, and inspire people to do more canning and preserving in their own kitchens. If you have ever wanted to learn how to can and preserve food, or if you are simply looking for some preserving-related inspiration, you’ve come to the right place!
