and through whom we live.
1 Corinthians 8:6

Thank you for the wonderful jam recipes, I am going to try your strawberry jam today. I made strawberry jam yesterday, (using the recipe that came with my new jam making machine) followed the recipe to the T and it just didn't set up so I guess it's Strawberry syrup on waffles.
You offered a PDF of the labels, I would like that very much.
Sincerely
Carolyn

Thank you for all of your lovely jam recipes, Chris. I am sure that you have answered this question before, but what are the sweet little glass jam jars called, and where do you purchase them? Thank you, I just love your blog. I have never tried a single recipe that was a dud! (smile)
