I never realized how creative you can be in the kitchen until…Pinterest. I wonder if the person that first started making salads, desserts, etc. in a jar was motivated by presentation, portion control, recycling mason jars, or reducing the amount of dirty dishes? Regardless of how the idea came about, I love some of the delicious recipes in a jar I’ve discovered while cruising Pinterest. Here are 10 of my favorite recipes in a jar.
UM. S’Mores in a jar. Enough said.

For some reason, making recipes in a jar is more fun than the traditional way. Some of these are rocking my world!
I love jar recipes! We used to give “jar gifts” about 20 years ago because it had a country homemade look but were cheap. Back then we didn’t have money for xmas gifts so that’s how we did it. Who knew they would be a thing. I guess I need to whip out old photos and start making them again and get them on Pinterest!
These all sound seriously delicious, but pumpkin pie in a jar? Sign me up! Not only does it sound tasty, but look how cute it is too!
There’s just something about the jar, I love it! These all look delicious!
