Can it Forward Day is a day where canners can share their love, knowledge, and experience of canning with others and this post will explain everything you need to know about this celebration that canners, food lovers, and gardeners all can enjoy.
Ball Brands is the organizer behind Can it Forward Day and they will be sharing demonstrations on Friday, July 22 2016 on Facebook Live from 10 am to 3:30 pm EST. FYI, Facebook Live is a way for people to share live video on their Facebook pages. It doesn’t disappear in 24 hours the way Periscope videos do (another video streaming app – I’m on there too @adwildflower 🙂 so you can watch them any time if you miss it. Head to https://www.facebook.com/BallCanning/ on Friday July 22 to watch a variety of demonstrations throughout the day. Facebook Live allows viewers to ask questions by typing into the chat box so it is interactive as well. Better yet, for every like, comment, share, etc, a $1 donation will be made to a select few food bank type charities all over the US. The recipes that will be demonstrated include Apricot Lavender Jam, Spicy Heirloom Tomato Chutney, Green Tomato Pickles, Fiesta Peppers, Chipotle Peach Salsa, and more. I have every intention of sharing some demonstrations of my own that day on Facebook so you should be sure to follow along there too!
Before you start canning, I want you to download this free canning process guide I created just for you. It will make the canning process a breeze!
Newbies and experienced canners alike can Pledge to Can it Forward and get a $5 coupon for the Ball Brand online store (hellllooooo pretty blue, green and purple jars!) and commit to learning and sharing what you know about preserving with others.
If Twitter is your social media hangout, you can use the tag #canitforward and ask questions and share ideas there.
You can use the same tag #canitforward on Instagram and Pinterest to share your canning creations. You should absolutely check out the canning inspiration here on Instagram and here on Pinterest!
I encourage you to get a trusted canning cookbook and this is one that would be an excellent resource for any canner regardless of experience.
There you have it! Who’s canning it forward with me this year? Share in the comments below!
