150 Best Desserts in a Jar

Whether it's a beveled antique jar picked up at a flea market, or that classic Kilner jar saved at the back of a kitchen cupboard, all kinds of containers can become sparkling, creative and beautiful ways to prepare and serve divine desserts. These sublime recipes are single-serving treats, which makes them the perfect ending to a family meal or dinner party. They also make a great gift, staying fresh and travelling well - perfect for making ahead. Andrea Jourdan has developed a wide array of recipes that are loads of fun to make - everything from puddings and trifles to cobblers, pies and cakes. And because the jars allow for things like freezing or setting jellies in layers, the colors and textures are special.
