Our Book Review of From Seed to Table by the Canning Diva

Diane Devereaux's (aka, the Canning Diva®) latest book, From Seed to Table, is not your average canning book. It's also a tremendous resource for those who value self reliance, sustainability and food security. It’s a handy asset for anyone who wants to grow AND preserve their own garden harvest. You'lI get more than just canning recipes, folks! You'll read about starting a garden and how to harvest from it. There are old-time skills such as rendering lard and seed saving too. I'll give a deep dive review of a book that I believe will be a valuable addition to your library.

Decorate bottles with custom maple syrup labels!

Maple syrup season is a busy time, but the rewards are well worth it! And as a bonus, it's always fun to give your maple syrup bottles a "glow up" once all the work is completed. Some of our favorite CanningCrafts Maple Syrup Labels are just what the sugar maker ordered this busy maple sugaring season!

First up is out constant go-to, Custom Maple Syrup Bottle Labels. These stylish maple syrup leaf labels look extra great on amber bottles. Customized maple syrup labels will have your name, date tapped, location, or other saying printed on them. The red flag at the bottom can have the color, grade, or 100% Organic or Pure (limit of 15 characters; can also be blank).

Next we have our Custom Kraft Sugar Shack Maple Labels. These labels showcase a hard-working sap house on our much beloved kraft apothecary format. Customize with a name, location, maple product (syrup, sugar, candy, etc) grade, color, or even a short saying.

Our Black Seal custom maple syrup labels look like cool, vintage apothecary stamps. This black and white maple syrup label has a simple and subtle splash of red. There’s plenty of room to custom print a name, location, syrup color, and grade around the seal design. The vintage design elements on this label give syrup bottles a unique and retro look that definitely stands out from the crowd.

This one's a real maple-fan favorite. Want your amber maple syrup bottles to stand out? Just add our Tree Tapping custom maple syrup label! This custom maple syrup label features a vintage black and white photo of a maple tree with a sap collection bucket. Iconic! Your name is emphasized in the red banner. These personalized syrup labels make a great gift for backyard maple sugarers and are perfect for holiday gift giving.

Finally, we just need the facts, ma'am. Our Just the Facts, Maple syrup label are a no-nonsense label for no-nonsense maple sugarers. This label prints on bright white or brown kraft label paper. The fields on these labels tell the folks everything they need to know about your syrup: the Color, Taste, Grade and State or Year of bottling. Like I said, ma’am, just the facts. You can also add a short phrase at the bottom, if you’re some kind of showboat or something.

Enjoy our entire collection of Maple Syrup Bottle Labels!

2025: The Year I Tried Pressure Canning (And Liked It!)

This was the year I looked at my canning shelves and said "Where's the Beef? And Chicken? And Pork? And Soup?" You get the picture. I ramped up my canning repertoire and made the leap off the high-dive into the pressure canning pool. Read My 2025 Canning Journal blog-post to learn about my quest for new ready made dinners and maybe some inspiration for your own.

Some of my new favorite meals to can are beef stroganoff, pork fajitas, and taco soup! These canned goods are the original "fast food" for busy work nights or quick and easy lunches. And they give me another way to use some of my garden produce, namely my overabundant tomatoes. WOOT!
