Is my jam, in fact, worthy of those labels? Nah, it's just the recipe that comes with the Certo (the thickening agent), but it makes all the slogging worth it!
I am now done blogging about strawberries. The end.

Last Time, I Swear
So, I borrowed a fun idea from Cro's blog. He had been making jam and pictured a jar of it. The label said "Finest" which I thought was great! So I sat with my fine Sharpie marker (love Sharpies) and looked up synonyms for the word 'best'. Here are the labels for my strawberry jam jars.

The labels are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteClever idea though.
ReplyDeleteBut not done with eating and enjoying it! What great labels!
ReplyDeleteI carry a Sharpie with me at work in my pocket. Need them for writing the date on nitroglycerin patches. This idea is much more fun.
ReplyDeleteNow those are words I will never say, "I need a Sharpie to write on nitroglycerin patches"!! How ya doing, Birdie?
DeleteHa, that's fun. I want to make jam now so I can write some labels.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! That's fun. My favourite is 'unparalleled'!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would say, "Yes, yes, yes!" to all of your labels as strawberry jam is his very favorite!
ReplyDeleteI believe truer words wee never written about your jam. :)
ReplyDelete... Mary-Lou =^..^=
H kaliteri marmalada tou kosmo!!!
ReplyDeleteForgot the translation
DeleteThe world's best marmalade (all jam is called marmalade here).
Great Fun!I'll try and remember this when I make my jam later this year.
ReplyDeleteDon't be done with strawberries!!! :) I bought a few pints at the market, they were local and they're so delicious. I need to now figure out how to use them quick. Strawberries with pancakes for brunch maybe, strawberry shortcake for dessert tomorrow and maybe strawberry ice cream... I love the idea of "finest" and "world's best"!! :)
ReplyDeleteBerries freeze beautifully. Take off he green leaves, wash if necessary, lay them on a wax paper covered cookie sheet and put that in the freezer to allow them to freeze solid, but separately. Then take them off the wax paper and put them in freezer bags. You can use frozen berries for baking, smoothies, even jam.
DeleteSounds great. I still have some from last year. As long as the labels will come off. Nothing worse than the ones you can't scrape off.
ReplyDeleteWell Jen, As any retailer knows, packaging is everything! i just hope my strawberry patch produces enough to make even one jar of "Preeminent" strawberry jam.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And I bet that every adjective properly describes your jam...
ReplyDeleteI might just beginning strawberries! Bought my first "real" strawberries of the season this weekend. We ate three quarts in two days! I think I need to make the ultimate jam -- it'll last longer! and I think it's a great idea!
ReplyDeletevery smart and please ship some jam to meeeeeee. LOL
ReplyDeleteEvery year I put in strawberry plants and I have yet to get a strawberry - the critters get each and every one!!
