Here is our favorite homesteading jam canning recipes to inspire homesteaders to stock their food pantry shelves with homemade delicious preserves from fruits and spices. Making homemade jam is really not that hard to do once you have got the basics down. You can learn the process in less than a half hour and then you can make endless different combinations to delight your whole family.

Once you have made and tasted your own jam, be prepared to never settle for mass produced, flavorless jam that is packed with chemical preservatives.
Good luck and you will do wonderful things in your homestead kitchen.

Remember, that we love when our readers share pictures of their canning creations on our Facebook page – so please do.
