Tis' the Season to Put Stuff in Jars...


We do small gifts every year to hand out at Mr. B's family Christmas.  Last year was the House Seasoning.  This year I thought about doing a refill, but decided to go with something different.  I saw this idea on Pinterest and we both agreed that it would be perfect.  They were super easy and turned out pretty cute.  Unfortunately, I didn't test out the labels on the jars before I printed and cut out 24 of them.  I realized a little late that they didn't fit so well.  Next time I'd do a smaller label.  Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.  Enjoy!

Your label can read:

Pour contents into saucepan on stove top and simmer on low heat, add water as needed.

Refrigerate to keep fresh.

Items Needed Per Jar:
1 pint jar
2 slices of lemon
1 lime slice
2 slices of orange
3 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
2 Tbsp whole cloves
a dash of fresh ground nutmeg (Optional)
Red Food Coloring (Optional)

Place ingredients in pint jar and fill with water, that has been colored red (if desired).  Attach lable and decorate as desired.
