Equipment

Ingredients

To Make One Jar

Instructions

  • Add all of your ingredients into the Weck jar.
  • Print the jar label. Print on cardstock for a more sturdy label.
  • Cut the label out, and punch a hole in the top of the label.
  • Tie the label onto the jar using cotton twine. The twine looks best if you wrap it around the jar 3 to 4 times before adding the label.

Notes

Keep slices visible: Stand oranges along the glass so bands look clean.
Mind proportions: Use more citrus than pine so the scent stays bright, not resin heavy.
Pack snugly: Lightly tamp layers so pieces don’t shuffle in transit.
Label clearly: Write brief simmer steps and an ingredient list for easy use.
Dry sprigs well: Use fully dry pine so no extra moisture clouds the jar.
