  1. Hi Chris,
    Your jam jars look so cute. Can you please direct me to the place where I could get them so that I can start making your jams. They look delicious.

  2. 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

  3. Love your recipes and love your labels. Please send Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly and Strawberry Habanero Pepper Jelly Labels.
    Thank you very much.

  4. 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)
