...{wild berry jam} is a homemade favorite of mine. Every year as I gather the goods to make this treat I remember my Granny canning in her kitchen. Everything from beans to jellies, preserves to sauces. It was a year long process for her. There was always something ready to be harvested and made ready for the cellar.
It is with her in mind that I recreate those moments in the kitchen and spread the feeling of homemade cheer.
To decorate the jars this year I collected these simple items found around the house:
{kitchen twine}
{brown coffee filters}
{muslin scraps}
{brown kraft cardstock tag}
...measure and cut a piece of {kitchen twine} and tie around the lid of your jar...
...punch a hole in your {tag} and feed twine through. Tie a bow.
...add a scrap of {muslin} and tie and trim ends...
...cut the scalloped top off of a {coffee filter} and twist into a flower...
...glue flower to center of tag and bow...
I love the {vintage sweetness} of these jars.
These make the best teacher and co-worker gifts!
This year I had teachers asking about the {jam} - hoping I was making it again this year.
A Christmas morning favorite of ours? {toasted english muffins with wild berry jam}
Merry Merry Christmas to you all!
