I finally found a local hardware store that carries canning supplies! So I stocked up with scooping up 3 cases! This hardware store only carries the jars once a year, and they don't carry that many cases. If I had the space, I think I would have bought every single case. hahaha. I've complained about it before in previous blog posts. It is so difficult to find canning jars in Staten Island. The only place I was able to find them was AC Moore, but they charge $1.99 a jar. Um, no way! That would mean a case would cost $24! Forgetaboutit! I found these cases for $9.99. It's the same price as the Ball website, but at least I don't have to pay for shipping!
Thank goodness I got the jars, because I have been busy canning the harvests. I did a whole case of pint size jarred pickles. And some heirloom tomato salsa. Yum! Canning season has begun!
