  1. Hi Pigzzilla Goldas Kitchen only has the standard mouth in the bulk and 90% of my jars are wide mouth. I just emailed them today asking if they can get the wide mouth lids. I also contacted WellsCan to see if they can get bulk lids in otherwise both Goldas & Wellscan's prices for the box of a dozen lids are more than what I pay at a store in my neighbourhood. Foxglove
  2. I just finished 102 pints of salsa, whew my feet are tired! This year I kept up on the mess and didn't rush to get the canner loaded as quickly, it made for much easier cleaning at the end of it. My store of canning lids are gone though, I can't find a Canadian supplier of bulk lids and to order them from the USA costs too much in shipping Foxglove.
  3. Just wanted to mention something about the mint jelly I made yesterday. It tastes a lot like honey. I thought I might be imagining the taste but my husband, who didn't know the recipe, asked if I used honey to make it. The recipe was 3 cups mint infusion to 4 cups sugar so it's really sweet. I also used a box of pectin that I had bought in 2004 and it jelled perfectly, I'm glad to know that the expiry date is well beyond what it says on the box. Foxglove
  4. Yesterday I did 11 pints of whole cherries, the kids aren't crazy about them so that's plenty for the year. I just did four 1/2 pint jars of mint jelly, wow is it sweet, 4 cups sugar to 3 cups mint infusion. I'll do more if they kids will eat it otherwise my mint gets dried for tea. I'm just about to head outside to pick lavender and I'll try lavender jelly tomorrow. Foxglove
