You know how much I love to can jam…any kind of jam…right? Well, I do!
I also love to give jam {and other foods I preserve} as fun gifts for Christmas, birthdays, teacher appreciation, etc.
When I give canned food as gifts, I like to pair it with homemade bread, pita chips, crackers, etc. and use fabric toppers and fun tags to decorate the jars. It’s just a simple step that I feel makes the whole gift look more “thoughtful” and pulled together.
In the past, I have made my own tags or found printable tags online; however, I recently came across some of the cutest printable tags ever over at Domestifluff.com. Kristen designed these tags specifically for jam jars…

I have a question. First of all. I love your recipe. I have made 36 jars. Blackberries, raspberry, blueberry, & strawberry.
My question is Why is my strawberry jam not very red?. it’s more like pale apricot color. It’s not very appealing. I used frozen strawberries. Does that make a difference? And how can I make it redder?
Andrea says
Hi Theresa — wow, that’s a lot of jam! Good for you 🙂
As for strawberry jam, mine is always very red — so it might just be that the strawberries you used were lighter. Otherwise, I’m honestly not sure. You could always add some raspberries in for a darker color, or just use a little food coloring!
