[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 629051, member: 1514"] LDM, I bet they did discontinued them. I have looked all over the internet including the Ball website. You know how stupid I am, it never even occurred to me to use regular plastic containers with screw on tops...lol. I actually have 3 in my cabinets right now that I havent ever used because I am saving them for something I need a tall thinner container to store something in. What is really hard for me right now is I dont have a microwave so reheating things is a pain. I am still going to be attempting to find the pressure cooker but Im going to do stuff I can do in the water bath first. I want to do diced tomatoes because I use a lot of those during the year, I am going to do spaghetti sauce or actually a simple marinara sauce which I can use on spaghetti or pizza, more strawberries, peaches, pears if my tree bears well this year, I think I will do that jalapeno jelly because everyone but me loves it, I will also do pickles and picked peppers. I just have to figure out how many jars I will need and how much produce I will need. In a little while I will go online and look at the recipes again to see how much each makes and do a list from that. I am trying to think closely about how much I actually use of each thing each month. I know tomatoes will be the biggest thing. Also pickles and pickled peppers will be next. I wonder if you can do different kinds of mustard? I am doing my own vanilla this year because I use so much of it now that I am cooking.
