Thanks for that pectin link.

I haven’t had problems with Sure Jell, but it doesn’t hurt to have an alternate!

What are your fave jams/jelly to can?

Strawberry and Strawberry Rhubarb Jams. I do a lot more of preserves vs. jams/jelly. I have all kinds of berry plants, grapes, rhubarb, etc., so I use whatever comes in and make whatever I feel like that day with it lol.

I own plenty of jars and enough lids to get me through this season and probably though the next, but this lid shortage has me concerned. I hate the Tatler and Harvest Guard reusable lids, but I do own some.

Last year I was too sick for the whole season, so everything from asparagus, berries, grapes, tomatoes, etc. I gave away rather than let them rot. This season I’m still not up to picking or planting, but I have people that will do that for me. I can still do the canning, just may need some help with the All American canners (the 910 I can use easily, the 915 depends on the day, the 921 and 941 I will need some help with) and there is a pot filler at the stove, so just help emptying the water bath canners. The 2 Mehu-Liisa Steamers/Juicers, which I love I can handle on my own.
