A Sneak Peek at Preserving by the Pint
Our friend, Marisa McClellan’s new canning cookbook Preserving by the Pint is now available! We are so proud to stock our shelves with her latest work!
We spent some time this weekend reading through the cookbook. Her dedication and tribute to her other half had us tearing up. Then, page-by-page, we began adding more items to our garden plans as we were inspired by one enticing recipe after another!
Preserving by the Pint is the second in a series of delightful & practical canning cookbooks by author & blogger Marisa McClellan. Her first book, Food in Jars Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round was released in 2012.
In addition to canning basics, Preserving by the Pint, includes tips on techniques, shelf life, cooking times and much more. It is packed with beautiful color images and more than 100 recipes thoughtfully sorted by season, which we think is brilliant! Recipes range from sweet to savory. Although it is designed for “Quick Seasonal Canning for Small Spaces” you’ll love her recipes no matter how much space you have!
We were impressed with the large variety of recipes. You’ll find more than just jams, jellies & pickles. The book includes unique recipes for somewhat out of the ordinary items that you may only have a small amount of, even if you do have a large garden.
If you don’t have a copy of Marisa’s first book Food in Jars, you can get your own copy here. Both of Marisa’s books will certainly be well-loved books in our canning library!

Love Marisa & can’t wait to can peaches and berries this summer!!
Tomatoes, always!
I would like to make some sort of rhubarb or blueberry jelly.
Always ready to learn new things or try new recipes. I would love to have a copy of her book!
I’ll do my salsa in pints-it’s the perfect amount to use in recipes.
I am still quite new at canning and I would love to win this as I would do a little bit of everything!
Can’t wait for Marisa’s new book!
I love canning! Sounds like a marvelous addition to my kitchen!
I’d like to can a lot of tomatoes this summer.
Jam! Also anything else I see at the farmer’s market that catches my eye. I pickled 2 pints of fennel this past weekend.
My hopes are to can a lot of goodies this year! I’m a month away from moving to Alaska where my son is already planning the layout of my raised beds which I plan on filling with tomatoes, zucchinis, beets, cabbage, etc.
Got the seeds just waiting to get up there with me!!
So, I plan on canning all of the above, in various forms. Zucchini Relish is high on my son’s wish list as he remembers it from years ago when I had a huge garden in Montana and he benefited from it every time he came for a visit. Pickled Beets I’ll likely have to “fight” over with my grandsons as they all three think they are totally awesome, as do their parents! LOL
And, because Mother Nature provides us with plenty of wild edibles, I can also see all the jellies I have missed making lately. Wild blueberries, strawberries and even elderberries are to be found up there…. Makes my mouth water just thinking how happily busy I will be again soon!
Last, but certainly not least………….Salmon, venison, etc,. if we really get lucky!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see this book, I loved the first one. I’ll preserve currents by the pint this year.
some sort of jam im sure
I am a huge fan of both yours and Marisa’s :). By the end of the year, we will have more Meyer Lemon Curd, Bolognese Sauce and Strawberry Rhubarb jam in pint size and more!
I would like to make small batches of nice jams and conserves.
_ By the pint? pickled veggies like green beans, carrots, and brussels sprouts; peach salsa; blueberry jam; peaches and blueberries in syrup…
Fruit pie fillings!
Dilly beans!
This will be my first year with a CSA share, and the element of not knowing exactly what — or how much — will be in the locally grown boxes is a part of this year’s preserving adventure. Nature gets to decide this year (mostly, anyway — I dream of lemons, but they’re never in season here!).
Salsa & Jam. I can’t wait to see the new book 🙂
Strawberry jam!
I so love Marisa’s first book and cannot wait to get my hands on the second!
I’ll be preserving lots of pickled asparagus by the pint this year! I can’t wait to see it at the farmers markets!!
Would love a copy of these books. I would anything I can get my hands on. Would be able to can just a little at a time. No more single serve left overs.
Hopefully I’ll be preserving something with tomatoes by the pint this year!
I would love to try some of these recipes! This is an awesome giveaway! Thanks so much for doing it. Now I need to go see if I can get a copy of the first book!
Jam!
I have great plans for using smoked paprika, tomatoes, papaya, tropical concoctions!
I’m just strting to get into canning, but excited to try everything! These books with their emphasis on small quantities look ideal.
I’m so glad to find your blog.These cookbooks and green jars are quite interesting.
getting my pressure canners dial gauges tested tomorrow so I can fill up a those jars in my basement by Filmore Containers!!
By the pint, will be putting up chili sauce (family recipe), bread & butter pickles (also family recipe), cinnamon nutmeg applesauce and pulled pork.
I’ll be canning a lot of jam again this year. The family loves it and it makes great gifts.
I always can several jars of her dilly beans.
I’d love to win Marissa’s new book! I’ve been following her blog since the beginning…
Lots of special things — gooseberry jam, rhubarb chutney, whatever I can find.
I’ll be preserving lots of tomato goodies if my garden is as happy as last summer along with pickles and sweet things too. Marisa’s first book and blog have been the main of my canning education and I’ve been looking forward to this new book since Marisa first mentioned it on her blog…
Preserving small batches is a great way to try a new recipe. Looking forward to Marissa’s new book.
I can’t wait to see this book. The Roasted Corn Salsa from the first book is a huge favorite in this house. I make the tomato sauce AND ketchup too! I love the first book.
I definitely want to try some chutneys by the pint this year.
I went to Marisa’s workshop and have been canning ever since! This season I think I will can pear-vanilla jam and tomato jam, also cran-apple jam – and then something new from the book!
I am a fan of her first book and have been anxiously awaiting this one. I know it will be filled with many user friendly recipes. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
I just put up a pint of pickled kumquats last week 🙂
Pickled Cherries!
I love my copy of Food in Jars, and am so excited to get my hands on Preserving by the Pint!
I’m going to be canning low-sugar jams of as many fruits as I can find!
sour cherry jam! I let it set up too much last year- determined to get it right this time around 🙂
Can’t wait to try this book. Marisa’s blueberry jam will definitely be making a reappearance in my kitchen this year!
These are the prettiest canning jars yet.
I love Marisa’s first book, so inspirational and different than the usual (read quite boring) Scandinavian recipies, so am looking forward to her second!
Will start pickling more since I’m a fennel and carrot addict; and am sure to make some raspberry jam variation and play with cloudberries!
something in my brand new (to me!) pressure canner!
Blackberry brandy jam
Can’t wait for berries this summer… and tomatoes 🙂
I love canning and every year I can the staple tomatoes and salsa but I always
try something new as well! Would love to win! Thanks!
Always looking for new recipes!
I love Marissa’s book and enjoyed all her recipes. Can’t wait to see her new book and try her delicious recipes. I want to try canning tomatoes and salsa when the season starts.
I hope to do tomato paste this year
I love her first book and look forward to getting this new one.
Small batch pickles
I can’t wait to can zucchini relish!
I’m so looking forward to this book! I’m planning on preserving plums from my tree and tomatoes from my garden this year! And I’ve been on a marmalade kick lately, too.
tomato jam!
I will pickle beans for sure. Hope to can some fruit preserves for my peanut butter sandwich fiend!
I have in mind salsa, pineapple jam, mango jam and cantaloup jam.
Peaches and plums are on my mind this year…
I’m planning to pickle a bigger variety of veggies–maybe radishes and cauliflower
I can so many things but my favorite is tomatoe’s with peppers use them in a lot of different dishes
looking forward to pickling artichokes and trying my hand at some new items too!
I’ll be making apple butter and apple jelly, which I’ll preserve by the pint. It’s the perfect size!
Dilly beans!
Just finishing up scrubbing giant-paper-bag-fulls (bags-full?) of sour oranges and lemons, so vanilla-bean-citrus marmalade is happening this week! Maybe some rhubarb-citrus marmalade, too!
My friends and family fight over the vanilla-marm, and I have to admit that I’m thrilled that they like it so much. So, I have to make as much this year as I’m willing.
Actually, some strawberry-marm would also be good…
Looking forward to the new book!
Tomatos!
I love canning things like salsa and green beans, but I would love to have new recipes to try too.
My husband loves my home canned jams and jellies but I would can tomato juice!
Hopefully lots of tomatoes from my garden!
Nanking Cherry Jelly, Salsa and Refrigerator Pickles go into my pint jars!
Jalepeno jelly in green jars for gifts is one of my favorite hostess gifts.
Would love to win a copy of her new book to add to my collection!!
Green jars and Marissa’s Pickling by the Pint – PERFECT TOGETHER
Corn relish!
Muskmelon Jam
I can’t wait to start trying these new recipes!
Can’t wait for peach season
Anything the good Lord above provides I will be canning this year!
I LOVED the first book! I can’t wait to read the second!
Green beans, carrots, & peaches!
I can just for me so everything is by the pint and half pint!
strawberry jam now and peaches later in the season!! 🙂
As it is just my husband and I this should be a fantastic canning book to have on hand along with finding recipes that I do not have to have a lot of. Syrups especially come to mind. 🙂
This book looks lovely! I plan to can lots and lots of goodies this year! Jam, pickles, salsa and sauces! Yay!
Apple butter and possibly strawberry jam
Hurray, Marissa! Can’t wait.
We will be canning lots of grape jelly and pickling peppers this summer!
I love Marisa’s first book and can’t wait to read this one.
already ran out of last years tomatoes so I’m ready for tomatoes to can and I always put them up in pints.
Have never canned before, but would love to learn with this book!! 🙂
I would like to try pickles and maybe some salsa for my husband. Being new to all this, I’m not sure where to start or how it will turn out. But, you have to start somewhere and this book would sure help!
Lots of tomatoes from my garden!
We grow a large garden and can everything! Love the book.
Jelly is the best. Esp. Strawberry. TY for the giveaway!
Lots of jams and jellies
I love to make jams an jellies! Am really getting into gifts in jars. So many posts are for quart jars, would love to win this book because pint sized is more suited to my needs.
Love Marissa and would love her new book! Jars, jars, jars!!! 🙂
The new book looks great and I would love to have a copy. Looking forward to a summer of preserving in pints.
I will be preserving some things by pint that we get in our CSA! This past year was our first year doing a CSA and we got weird amounts of things that we couldn’t use up immediately – more than we could eat right away but not enough to make a large batch of something. Specifically, strawberries, cabbages, radishes, turnips, and zucchini. I’ll be anxious to make a jar of something rather than fretting over it going to waste, and enjoying a brighter taste of summer produce when the skies are gray and winds are cold. Thank you for the giveaway!
I love to can tomatoes, salsa and pickles!
Cranberry BBQ Sauce
I love Food in Jars and actually got to watch Marisa do a demo a couple years ago. She’s awesome, and I can’t wait to get my hands on her newest book!
Lots of Carrots and Beats!!!!!!!!
I always can tomatoes in pint jars.
I make at least one type of jam each summer
I love Marisa’s blog!
Most likely tomato sauce.
You can never have enough canning recipes!
Her first book was great, I bet the second id even better!
The new book looks great- so do those lovely green jars!
I am ready to try my hand at canning anything 🙂
Something w/ sour cherries– my tree is still young, so a pint is all I’ll get 😉
I preserve almost everything in pints, because there is just the husband and me, so a lot of times a quart of anything is too much.
this looks like an awesome book
love all the new pickle recipes to try by the pint….. for gifts, too….
now that we are empty nesters it makes a lot more sense to can by the pint and open more jars when we have company or the kids over than to can in quarts and have tons of left overs.
I am going to try different jellies
Blueberry rhubarb jelly!
Tomatoes and strawberry jam!
Where to start….mushrooms, chow chow and wine jelly.
Anything and everything. .. starting my garden again this year
I love to can jams & butters
tomatoes!!!
Oh, where do I begin?
I’ll probably start with orange marmalade and cherry tomatoes, separately, of course!
I will can applesauce in pints this year. Many more than last year because I am out! 🙁
Cannot wait to read her new book!
I would make more pickles! Our family eats a ton of them!
Pear jam!
I really want to make my own preserves as well as going to can up some bbq sauce.
I will be canning tomatoes, pickles, & peaches for sure. Probably other stuff too! I can’t wait!
Meyer lemon jam!
Jam & tomatoes for sure.
Jardinaire, that’s what I miss the most when its gone!
I’ll be canning all kinds of dilly beans in pints this summer.
Looking forward to reading the new book!
I am going to can everything I possibly get out of my garden!
Excited to learn new techniques. We have several fruit trees that have matured and we have lots of fresh fruit now!
Will be canning salsas, jams and jellies and vegetables!
Salsa, dilly beans and pickles!
I love to preserve food in small batches and can’t wait to see the wonderful recipes in your new cookbook.
I would love to have a beautiful canning book or two! I love my blue jars but the green are even more beautiful.
Would love a new canning cookbook and who doesn’t love new jars??
I’m new to canning and would LOVE her book!
I have so many things I want to try…. strawberry jam is always a given, cranberry sauce… & I want to make some corn relish and piccalilli like my grandmother used to…
