Nothing says summer like making jam! It’s a fun new hobby I finally learned last year and we have enjoyed yummy jam ever since.
After canning a double batch I wanted to make some cute labels to go on them. I have made the scallop labels in the past but wanted to try a couple of new ones too.

I thought I would try square. I made one kind of country looking and one a bit more modern. I like them all so much that I couldn’t choose just one! I printed them all out. I just think it makes the jars look even more inviting and there is no more guessing as to what kind of jam you have.
How to Make Printable Labels:
All you need is a 2″ scallop or circle punch. I’m also including the lid topper that you punch out with a 1″ circle punch. You can also cut them out with scissors. Enjoy!
How to Make Strawberry Jam
Recipe from The Blue Ribbon Preserves Cookbook by Linda J. Amendt
- 4 Cups hulled and crushed ripe strawberries (About 2 quarts of whole berries)
- 2 Tablespoons of fresh strained lemon juice
- 7 Cups of Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 (3-ounce) Pouch liquid Pectin
In an 8-quart pan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cover and let stand for 2 hours.
Remove the cover. Over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, heat the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the butter. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in the entire contents of the pouch. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Skim off any foam.
To prevent the jam from separating in the jars, allow the jam to cool 5 minutes before filling the jars. Gently stir the jam every minute or so to distribute the fruit. Ladle the hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims and threads with a clean damp cloth. Cover with hot lids and apply screw rings. Process half-pint jars in a 200 degree water bath for 10 minutes, pint jars for 15 minutes.

Thanks for the labels, they are darling! Now I need to make Jam just for the cute labels.
