For Christmas I gave some of my friends homemade chokecherry syrup. Back in the fall my uncle picked the berries and I prepared the syrup. In December I got the jars and labels ready and made homemade pancake mix to accompany some of the syrups.

Some cheery outdoor Christmas decorations in my neighbourhood:

The font I used on the syrup and pancake labels was the hand-lettered Antrokas which you can find here. Creating custom labels and packaging was probably one of my favourite parts of this project. (Watching syrup boil over my biggest pot multiple times was not :) ). To me, food is about community and relationships. Hence, the label says "Enjoy with a friend."

In January a few young artists took charge in my kitchen. The lino still has a pinkish tinge.

Happy February!
