How a canning log printable makes every batch repeatable

Record where the recipe came from, your altitude, headspace, processing time and pressure, plus how many jars you filled and how many sealed. A great batch becomes easy to repeat, and any issue is easy to trace. Plan each season's preserving, follow a checklist for before, during and after canning day, and view the whole year's batches on a single overview.

In the pantry inventory, you fill in a counter each time you open a jar. Then finish your jars with 20 round lid labels, 12 side labels and 4 gift tags. Nothing is dated, so print a new batch log for each canning day.
