Some states have business development programs where they help people
start home-based businesses, many of which involve cooked foods or
similar.

I know Vermont has a very well developed program, and Maine. You might
check around with your state, as they can help you with all sorts of
information on meeting health standards, and suppliers of materials
like jars.

Many people like you, have gone from doing foods as gifts for friends
and family, to starting a small home-based business.

Happy trails,
