Making your jam jar label work
Homemade jam sells at markets, farm shops and fairs, and the label is often the only thing that makes one jar stand out from the next stall's. It should name the fruit plainly, look homemade in a careful way, and carry the details buyers trust.
What to write on it
- The fruit and the type, such as Blueberry Jam or Seville Orange Marmalade.
- A line on what makes it special, like small batch or real fruit.
- The net weight and your kitchen's name; check local rules for home-made food sales.
One tip
Write the batch date on the lid rather than the label, so one label design serves every batch of the same fruit.
