NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

  • If you’re not a fan of Colby Jack or Mozzarella, feel free to substitute any other hard cheese. The same applies to the salami and pepperoni. Steer clear of soft cheese like brie, blue cheese, or feta as it simply won’t hold up in the jars. 
  • No mason jars? No problem. Use alternative glassware like stemless wine glasses, rocks glasses, disposable paper cups or cones. 
  • A variety of height, dimension, and colors is what makes these really pop. Regardless of your ingredients, make sure you have an array of colors and textures to make these appealing to the eye – and to the belly. 😉
