I make jams and jellies, marmalades, conserves, syrups and butters. My darling SO hands them out to random people because I tend to go into hyperdrive during the summer and fall, and make too much. More than we could eat in 10 years. :smack: Now I have peeple asking for it, and I would like to label it in some way. Can you think of a catchy name? If I do end up picking from the suggestions I get, I will gladly send that poster a sampler box. 😃 Ready? Set? GO! ---

So much depends on your own style, what part of the country you are from, whether or not you want to appeal to a sense of humor or to a “British tea time” approach. If you have only one daughter, you could name them after her… Caity’s Tea Party Apple Lime Jelly and Caity’s Tea Party Pumpkin Honey Butter …for example If you make a fortune, just send me a case. 😉 ---
