  Connor, Ian, and I made a trip up the coast to visit my mom and step-father Etienne this past week, with a plan to stock up on blueberries along the way.  In August in the midcoast, as well as further down east, signs for wild Maine blueberries are everywhere.  I made calls to a few […]

  When we got back from blueberry picking at Estes Farm the other day, we had lots of berries to wash and eat.  Connor likes them, and Ian LOVES them, but even so we had more than we could eat fresh right away. Thankfully, the freezer is a really easy option for preserving fresh fruit.  While […]

  I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to local pick-your-own fruit.  Even though we’re planning to buy a lot of blueberries in bulk this year–the small, low-bush variety that grow wild in barrens across much of the state-I’ve been hoping for a chance to do some of our own picking as well.  The […]

• WELCOME!

  I’m Allison Carroll Duffy, and food preservation is my thing.  I am trained as a Master Food Preserver, and I’ve been preserving food for over 20 years. Canning, dehydrating, freezing, fermenting, root-cellaring…I do all of it (with help from my husband and two teenage sons whenever I can get it:-)), to put up the produce from our large homestead garden.

   

  I also love sharing my food preservation knowledge with others! I teach canning and preserving classes and workshops, I write about food preservation (the new edition of my book Preserving with Pomona’s Pectin was published in 2021), and I also appear as an on-camera food preservation guest expert.

   

  In this space, I share about all things preserving…including how to safely preserve foods through canning and other methods,  lots of canning-safe recipes, as well as slices of my family’s life as we grow and preserve food on our homestead.  My goal is to help folks learn how to preserve delicious foods safely, and inspire people to do more canning and preserving in their own kitchens. I hope you’ll join me here….and thanks for stopping by!
