Has anyone come up with a good method of labeling
their jars after canning? I now use a permanent marker on the lid, but a nice, tough, waterproof, durable label would be nice. Something you could put in an ink jet printer would be even better. I'm curious to what others have found best. Thanks, Jim |

I think they are 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Barb Schaller uses them all the time. I mostly use a Sharpie on the lid with product and date of manufacture but have used shipping labels with fair results. The only problem with labels on jars is that they are often a real problem to get off to reuse the jar. Good luck. |

Since most of my jars come back to me, I know what a pain it is to remove the labels. I use the Avery label # 5294. Found my source. http://www.buyonlinenow.com/viewProduct.asp?SKU=AVE5294 I have ordered from them before (not the labels) and got very good service. -- Susan N.

I've been using standard Avery address labels for years - 2.5 inch by 1 inch
and I put them on the jar itself. I use Word and Avery template # 5160. To get them off - pour a little boiling water over them for 15-30 seconds and the labels peel right off with no residue. If they have been run through the dishwasher with the labels on, soak them in hot water, peel off what you can and remove the rest with a plastic scrubber.

Soak in cold water to remove. NT |

I write the date on the lid and stick a post-it note on the shelf in
front of the jars telling what's in them....Carol |

The only time I use labels is stuff I'm giving to the Altar Society for their sale or I'm taking to the Farmer's Market. Then I use round Avery labels with the details on it. State law here says I can sell to the public at Farmer's Market or church sales as long as I put all the ingredients on the label in order of magnitude and my address or phone number. Home canned jellies and jams are sold for about $8 a pint around here. Same goes for home made cakes, pies, cookies, etc. as long as they're properly labeled selling is not a problem depending on the venue. Tomorrow we're putting up Dilly Carrots, got a good crop this year and the great grands love those things. Of course we do too. |
