Can-It-Forward Day 2016

cifd-badgeCan-It-Forward Day will take place on Friday, July 22nd. Now in its 6th year, Can-It-Forward Day was born from the desire to share – or pay forward – the joy and benefits of canning, bringing together canners, gardeners and food enthusiasts alike.  Sounds pretty great to us!

Interested preservers can watch Canning demonstrations from popular canning bloggers including Marisa McClellan of Food in Jars, and Malia Karlinsky of Yesterday on Tuesday, as well as the Ball brand’s expert chefs will take place from 10:00AM – 3:30PM ET on the Ball Canning Facebook page via Facebook Live.

Some of the recipes featured during the Facebook Live event will include, Apricot Lavender Jam, Spicy Heirloom Tomato Chutney, Green Tomato Pickles, Fiesta Peppers, Chipotle Peach Salsa, and more.

This year the event has a big focus on charity. Five small, local, non-profit organizations have been selected with the help of participating bloggers to benefit from the event. For every like, share, reaction and comment on the Can-It-Forward Day Facebook Live videos on July 22, Ball Canning will donate $1 to the following local charities:

If you want to participate Can-It-Forward Day here’s a few fun ideas on how to join in on the preserving fun!
