One of the last and most fun steps in preserving the harvest is applying pretty labels to your Ball Canning Jars .

This is where you can put a personal touch to gift baskets of homegrown and put up goodies!

You can make unique canning labels for labeling your own canned goods as well as those you give away as presents.

Even the busiest home gardeners and canners can keep a well-stocked pantry of fruits, vegetables, relishes, pickles, and homemade sauces.

You will still have a surplus to create thoughtful gifts for giving to neighbors and relatives.

At the end of the season, you can sit back, relax, and rest assured that there will be plenty of preserved food on hand for weekly family dinners and seasonal holidays.

Food preservation is economical and a creative way to save a garden's bounty for a rainy day. However, you do not want to lose track of what you have stored and when the produced was canned.

It is important to clearly label each of your Ball canning jars and keep an inventory list of what you have in storage. On the home canning labels, put down contents and date.

Keep in mind to update your list with any new or used items. Post your list with a pen attached on the inside on the cupboard door so everyone in the household can help keep the pantry organized when they take or add products.

When you are making your list of home Canning Supplies, jot down home canning labels. No matter what you fill your Ball canning jars with from pepper jelly to spicy hot pickles; every jar needs to be labeled.

It is a good idea on gift labels of preserves to state your name and possibly instructions on storing along with the usual listing of contents and date food was preserved.

This is what makes using handmade canning labels so useful. For example, you can print home canning labels that read: From the Kitchen of Diana or Packed with Pride by Charlotte.

Another suggestion for home canning supplies is to keep stationery imprinted with your name handy for adding specific recipes with the gift baskets of produce canned in Ball canning jars. For instance, you could type up directions for Diana's Zesty Tomato Sauce to go along with a quart of tomatoes.

When stocking up on home canning supplies, look for colorful labels in your local stores and online. If you do not find exactly the canning labels you had in mind, make them yourself and save money in the process!

You could use large gift tags to adhere to the Ball canning jars that could hold all the information needed. If you do not necessarily want to glue the canning labels to the jar, suspend them with colored string or ribbon.

Ball Canning Jars

A resourceful way to decorate Ball canning jars as presents is to make decorative caps for the containers out of fabric.

To create: cut a circle of fabric such as gingham 2 inches wider than the diameter of the jar top.

Secure the cloth circle with a rubber band. Add a ribbon and a bow to cover the rubber band. Attach one of your labels and you are done!
