Hi Christine, so glad to hear you're enjoying the site! We ask that you leave a comment on each post you are interested in, that way we can stay organized. Also we're working on a new system so a few of these recipes have places to enter your email right in the post and they will automatically be sent to your inbox (the Christmas Jam and Christmas Marmalade) Thanks!
Thanks for another great collection, Chris!
Sorry that I'm having to reorder some of the labels - my devices "took a walk" - not that they're of use to anyone else - they're locked up tighter than Ft. Knox, but it meant that I lost many of the contents, and not being technique savvy, don't know how to retrieve them. 😕
Hope this finds you and yours well.
Many blessings! 🙏
Thanks, Terry!
Please send me the printable labels for all the delicious jams and jellies. Thanks!
