I found the Ball Pickle Crisp at my local grocery store here in the
sticks. It was $5.98 for a 5.5 oz (155g) jar. Directions say to use
a rounded 1/4 tsp/quart or rounded 1/8 tsp/pint. Should last a while.

Amazon price is $5.99 + shipping unless you keep a mile long wish list
like I do. But I would rather keep my local grocery store going. They
keep canning supplies year around. You won't find canning jars
anywhere else in town if you decided to make marmalade in January and
run out of jars or pectin. I do enough to keep Amazon going. Check
the places where you find Ball jars. It was flagged as a new product
here.
