The sad thing is that I used to eat a lot of that sause, probably
2-3 jars a month. But back then I wasn't even gardening much, and
they all went to the recycling. Once the gardening ramped up, I
started saving the jars. I got up to two jars before the stuff on
the store shelves transitioned to the new jars.

Oh well.
