How do you log foods that you've canned yourself? I do some canning and have things like zucchini relish, low sugar jams, cowboy candy, etc.

    How did you figure out servings per jar?

    Just use whatever amount you would typically use as a serving and go by volume. For example, jams and salad dressings, I would use a tablespoon and there are 32 tablespoons per pint jar. For soup or spagetti sauce, I would use a cup and there are 4 per quart jar. Create your full batch recipe, then after you've divided into separate jars you can count up the total servings. HTH
