Use a wide mouth funnel to add all the ingredients to a one quart jar, layering in the order given above. Make sure the jar is tightly packed to prevent contents from moving around.
Cut a circle of fabric to decorate the jar lid, fasten with a rubber band. Cover the rubber band with raffia or ribbon, attaching the printed gift tag, which includes the cooking instructions, at the same time.
Print and cut out the gift tag. Fold in half then in half again, so the illustration is on the front and the directions are on the inside. Fill in the "To" and "From" page and attach to your gift in a jar.
Are these recipes for wide mouth quart size mason jars or just the regular mouth quart size mason jars

Soup is the ideal cold weather healthy eating. It can help you with your weight, keep you warm, and essential vitamins also. What better thing to give but soup and homemade at that. Your presentation looks inviting, I can't wait to prepare it and give it to my loved ones.
Do have any jar recipes that will fill a 3 cup jar?
Check out Gift in a Jar index page. Recipes for Hot Chocolate, Sp iced Tea and Chili Mix are all mixed recipes, rather than layered, so you can fill any sized jar really.
For layered recipes, do the math: if the proportions given are for a four cup jar, divide everything by four to get what is used in one cup, then multiply by three to get amounts for a three cup jar.
What's the orange item in the jar? I tried to find dried veggies but to no avail...any ideas?
Those are lentils, which usually come in orange or green, and are available in the grocery store, near the dried beans, rice etc.
If you can't get to the store, replace this layer with more split peas. I think it would work fine.
