Oh wow that looks amazing!
Ay ideas how the paper will come off after the jam is gone? I tend to reuse my jars a lot and hate getting labels off with a passion. At the moment I just use a dymo label writer. I find the plastic tape comes off very easy, but the paper one is a real PITA!

Weka, use a flour/water paste or wallpaper paste for paper labels. They wash off in warm water.

Thanks for the link Deb!
These are the ones I made for my lemon honey. I ended up sticking the labels on with milk, which is what the website suggested. The lemon honey needs to stay in the fridge, but I wonder what a label of a jar that sits on the shelf for a year would be like. :?

They look really good Weka.

I used Pritt stick to stick mine on and I'm pretty sure that the labels will just peel off.

What is lemon honey by the way and how long does it last for? Is it like lemon curd?
