Yow!

I was walking through my usual grocery store a few days ago and,
glancing down an aisle, saw "SALE" tags on the shelves of canning supplies.

Ball Pectin was on sale. For $3.49/package. Holy cow! No wonder the
farmers' markets and other small jam makers are charging $10+ a jar for
jams. If we have a late freeze this year or if our apricot trees fail
to bloom because of a dry winter and have t o buy the fruit again, I may
not make much jam.
