Just Peachy
Jar Label Design
Copyright ©2008, L. Bachman
My kitchen is full of peaches, both canned and jammed. Isn’t that just peachy? It would be even more peachy if I had somewhere to put them!
It’s been a very full week, and I’ve learned some new things:
1. Can peaches before making jam. Firmer peaches work better for canning.
2. Peeled peaches are very slippery.
3. Rottweilers like peaches.
4. Bacon spatter is nothing, compared to boiling jam.
5. When jam heats to a roiling boil, it increases in volume. A lot.
Peaches, July ‘08
I now have 15 quarts of peaches, and 22 jars of jam. Not bad for a rookie canner! There were also fresh peaches for my husband’s lunch, and some peach cobbler too.
So, what’dya think of my label design?!?

The label has a very nice old look to it. You should design some for different fruits
Our Rottie loves oranges, never thought to feed him peaches (he would steal oranges if they were left on the counter, and no one was around to see
)
Thanks Jennifer! I was thinking the same thing. I’ve been looking for labels, but haven’t found anything I really like. I worked way to hard on this stuff to put a so-so label on it.
Daisy likes green beans, carrots, apples, peaches, cucumbers and as of last night- blackberries. I’ll try giving her an orange wedge when I make marmalade.
Those look incredibly tasty. And the label is perfect!
Thanks Meg! The jam has turned out very well. One batch is a little on the runny side, but it’s sure good on whole grain toast!
