Slow Food, Soft Prepping, and Cozy Preservation
There’s something tender about the act of canning — the way it slows you down, roots you in the seasons, and lets you tuck small comforts away for later. It’s not just about food. It’s about rhythm. Self-reliance. Beauty in jars.
Whether you’re new to preservation or building a homestead pantry shelf by shelf, this is the heart of my canning cabinet — simple tools that turn harvest into home, and effort into ease. Because prepping can be quiet. It can be cozy. And it can absolutely be beautiful.
Stainless Steel Funnel
No more spills or awkward pours — this funnel is sturdy, easy to sanitize, and comes with mesh strainers for jellies, broths, and herbal infusions. It’s the one I reach for every time.
