Jar Labels... A Review


Awhile back the great folks at www.pantryparatus.com sent me a sample package of their Modern Harvest home canning labels for me to try...

I set them aside and, well, honestly... forgot I had them.

Came across them recently and decided to give them a try... and am I glad I did!

I received the flower design labels which included 12 each of quart, pint, and half pint sizes... they can be found here. PantryParatus also offers several other styles of labels... (head on over there and check them out!)

So, basically here's what you do with these great labels...

Can your food like normal and let the jars cool...

Then...
Heat a pot of water to boiling (or, like I did... if your hot water bath water is still hot, just use it)

Choose the size label you need (I used the pint size) and with a Sharpie (black would probably be better, I couldn't find black) write the jar contents on the label...


on the flip side of the label you can check off the month and year... and there's even a space to fill in later when you open the jar...


Slip the label from the top or bottom of the jar towards the center and just adjust it until it sits where you want it... it'll fit loosely...


Now here's the fun part... the magic!!!!

Pick your jar up using your jar holder (canning tongs) and carefully dip the jar(s) into the hot water...


The label will immediately shrink to fit the jar (unless the water isn't hot enough... if that's the case, heat the water back up and try again)


Like magic! Like Shrinky Dinks! Like Shrink Wrap!!!


After you're done with the jar of goodies, just carefully slide a knife under the label and twist to break the label loose... no more gummy glue, sticky residue... and they're cute enough for gift giving!
I love them!!!

Thank you PantryParatus!
