Well, the UPS man brought me a package today. A little beat up, but
for UPS that's to be expected. The inner box (surrounded by styrofoam peanuts) looked much better. Inside, there were 12 jars in perfect condition. "It tastes best, hands down, on hot, buttered toast made from my own homemade white bread." (a quote from the jar label, next to a picture of *our* Jam Lady!) I wouldn't know about that. One jar is empty. No bread (homemade or not) was in the house. No, I didn't eat it all (she said that she had a taste) (her "taste" couldn't have been much more than a tablespoon). Thanks, Barb, and thanks to Gedney and My Brands Inc. for making this possible. $4.83 each for 16.5 ounces delivered to my door is a great price for extra great preserves. Shoot, I've paid more than that for cheep-o store brands. BOB what to do with the next jar??? -- Raw Meat Should NOT Have An Ingredients List |

WOW! 12 jars Peach Raspberry $47.30 Shipping 9.38 Handling 1.25 Total $57.93 divided by 12 jars Equals 4.8275 rounded up to $ 4.83 per jar The 16.5 ounces is the 'Net Weight' of the contents. The jars make the total weight more. I'm happy with the price and I'm happy with the preserves (if I can keep the spoon out of the jars unless there is something else to go with the preserves).

Yeah, mix it with *something*! I licked the spoon too many times. How many dessert spoonfuls are in one jar? Yep, that's about how many times I licked the spoon! Pach Raspberry Chipotle sauce for some smoked or BBQed meat this weekend sounds like a plan. I have a version of raspberry chipotle that can only be made better (IMO) with the peach raspberry...

Mind you I'm used to canning my own & Canadian prices. They wanted $5.99 for a 500 ml jar of dilly beans! I could not believe it. I grow my own beans so a jar that size likely costs be about 5 cents to can, maybe a little more but you know what I mean. |

I think I was saying, though, that I can't make and sell it as inexpensively as they do. I don't have access to wholesale costs nor do I make the quantities that would let me avail myself of pallets of jars, etc. I'll offload the rest of what I have in a month at a fundraiser for the local Seniors Center. They tell me that people come early to scope out my stuff. Rob will be happy to have those freakin' jars out of the house. -- http://www.jamlady.eboard.com |
