[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 629103, member: 1514"] I dont have a Krogers near me or I would go look. I did check my local food lion but they are more expensive than Walmart. I did see online that Ace Hardware has some that look to be at least as cheap and they have a bigger selection so I will go check there. I did a calculation today as I went through and printed out recipes (not including peaches because I dont know if I will get those this year) and I need: 12 quarts, 24 pints, 11 half pints! So really that will be 12 half pints because I am not buying them singly...lol. Im sure I can find something to put in the last one. Tony and I are arguing over canning collards. I dont think you can with a water bath. I think that takes a pressure cooker. He seems to think I am an idiot. Oh, I was looking online just to find me a large stockpot because I dont have one and I found the most wonderful canning invention on earth...well next to the pressure cooker. Its a steamer pot so you dont have to put all that water into a huge pot, use tongs to get them out, etc. You have this smaller pan on the bottom and then it has the wrack that you can put up to 7 quart jars on and then you put the lid on and it steams the jars at the right temp. You just have to watch the time. You can use pot holders to move the jars. I ordered it. It was only like 30 something dollars and they wanted right around the same amount to get a cheap enamel pot with all the supplies. I think thats good..at least for me. I also ordered a mandoline so I can cut things into slices easier. I am absolutely horrible with a knife. [/QUOTE]
