You could have asked Barb for hers, I think she bought it new.

For those who are in need of canning equipment you can check out Ebay.
Of course you have to add in the shipping costs and make sure that you
have a good idea of what these things would cost you elsewhere.

If you decide to bid on Ebay, one word of advice -- do not place a bid
until the very last. Otherwise the price will be driven up.

Do not ask how much I paid for a 1916 Ball Blue Book.

Wiseass. LOL!

Juice was perfect -- pure, no bits of anything. If taste can overcome
appearance demerits, I might have something. Dangitall.

Anybody have any ideas? I think I need to talk to my food scientist
acquaintance about this. I am not happy.

I don't know. My crabapple jelly looks like that, too * that's got a
high natural pectin level. Phooey.

Looks like I'd better make another batch of B&Bs, so I'd best toddle off
to the local farmers market for cukes. And then there's wash to hang
(so I can use the washer for my cukes "-)

No rest for the wicked.
