Anna’s Journey to Can 2000 Jars of Jam for Christmas Market

Season 2 Episode 88

Could you make 2,000 jars of jam in 5 months? On this week’s episode of Perfectly Preserved, Anna takes us along for the ride as she prepares to sell her jam at Utah’s largest Christmas market. You’ll learn the behind the scenes of what it takes to run a small food preservation business and prepare for markets. 

Anna shares how she got into this German-style Christmas market and why she has her sights set on 2,000 jars of jam. You’ll hear where she's sourcing her jars and how she’s handling fruit in its peak season. She also discusses her pacing to reach her goal and how a steam canner is speeding up the process. You don’t want to miss her incredible jam flavor roster, along with why she’s keeping a narrow selection for customers. 

Selling preserved goods at a large market is no small feat. Anna is here to pave the way for all others who want to share their delicious canned goods with the world!
