Cool, wish I'd seen this thread before. I can things a few times a year, usually when something's in season, or I find a ridiculous deal. This winter I managed to get around 9lb of blackberries for $16, so blackberry jam became was my go-to gift for everyone.



I went through the trouble of making custom labels this time, too:

I've been canning for 6 years and I have just got past the "sharpie on the lid" labeling. Sharpie on masking tape is so much more convenient and easy to read on the shelf. I never thought of doing a custom label.

Hey! you forgot to add "may contain nuts" on that there label!


Avery makes a glossy label that's the perfect size for a regular mouth lid. I had to make my own Illustrator template for it though, Avery only provides one for Microsoft Word.

Wow, really? The seeds? Hadn't thought about that, I guess I never thought of them as "nuts." My food mill certainly removed 99%+ of the seeds, but a few small ones still slipped through.
