So this got me thinking, we have a craft sale in Cessford in November sometime and maybe I should sell some of my jams there. I have done this before and its went over okay, not super well, but I have only had them there once and it was kinda spur of the moment. With some time to plan, maybe it will be a little better.
So I am planning now. I thought if I want them to sell, maybe to be given as gifts, I should make some pretty labels. I looked at what I could make on the computer and then thought since I scrapbook, why not make scrapbooking type labels. So this is what I've come up with so far.
And this is what they look like on the jars. I still have many more to make and put on, but just thinking so far.
I am thinking I will be taking rhubarb raspberry jam, raspberry jelly, nanking jelly, crab apple jelly, apple jelly, peach jam and applesauce. I am thinking of charging $3 for small jars, or $5 for big jars and all applesauce at $4. Should be fun, I guess I better get on making more labels though and ordering a table.

They look good so far. You could also take little scraps of fabric and ribbons to decorate the tops of the jars if you wanted.Just cut a circle and place it on top so that it hangs over and secure it with a liltte piece of ribbon or twine
Mmmm sounds like a good idea! I love to can veggies but I have never made jams or jellies before. I will have to try it sometime.
I just hauled 21 QUARTS of crabapple jelly to the basement....maybe I should join you;)
Better tell me when the sale is. My mouth is watering.

All your jars look so good! I am missing canning this year being away from home for a few months. My sweet girlfriends are canning all my apples for me, so I will have some goodies when I get back.
Looks good, wish I was closer I would buy up a boatload since I know how yummy your stuff is.
You did a great job! Those are super reasonable prices too...good luck!
