There are no lids or sure-jel in this part of the south to be had . Had too order our sure-jel from the manufacturer (NC) it took almost two weeks before they shipped , so far behind on orders ....
Instead of Sure- Jel try Pomona’s Universal Pectin.
You can buy larger quantities and it has two wonderful advantages.
One is that you can make the jam with any amount of sugar you desire.
And better yet , you can make large batches and they set beautifully. I would make enough for seven pints, a full cannerload, at one time. I would make a years supply of each fruit jam in one day of processing.
That would be 35 pints.
I would do the prep, jar washing, lid washing, setting up the kitchen the day before. Made life a lot easier.
Canning day was also leftover day.
