Small Batch Canning

Small Batch Canning

Author: Hank Shaw February 16, 2023 Duration: 1:21:47

We all have memories -- or notions -- of canning being this gigantic task, in sweaty summer kitchens, lasting hours and producing whole cupboards full of jams or pickles or somesuch. Well, while that certainly does happen, you can put food by in small batches, even as small as one pint! 

Canning expert Marisa McLellan of Food in Jars joins me to geek out on small batch canning. If you live in an apartment, as she does, or if you just want to preserve small bits of precious things, like ramps or mushrooms or other wild foods, this episode is for you. 


Step outside the supermarket and into the landscape with Hunt, Gather, Talk with Hank Shaw. Guided by wild foods expert and cookbook author Hank Shaw, this podcast is an audio journey that follows food to its source, whether that’s through foraging, fishing, or hunting. The conversation goes far beyond the harvest, weaving together the biology, habitat, and cultural lore of wild ingredients before arriving, always, at the kitchen. In one episode, you might learn about the surprising life history of a common game bird, hear nuanced strategies for finding it, and then get practical, inventive advice on how to transform it into an unforgettable meal. The current season offers a sustained exploration of upland game like pheasants, turkeys, quail, and rabbits, giving each subject the deep, respectful attention it deserves. Hank’s approach is both knowledgeable and accessible, making the world of wild food feel tangible and deeply connected to the places we live. Listen to this podcast for a holistic view of what it means to truly know your food, from the field and forest to the plate, all delivered with the warmth and authority of a seasoned guide who genuinely loves to share what he knows.
