Seriously, $63 sounds like a pretty good deal for 10 pounds of it. Makes it
around 39 cents an ounce. Those little boxes are what, 1.75 oz.? I think
I might be able to round up a bunch of friends and split the cost. I was
worried about shipping but it told me shipping was FREE. I can't imagine
wanting 10 pounds of it myself as it's probably not something that will keep
for years.

The place I buy from has powdered pectin (regular) for $4.10/lb. And
they sell it in about 3/4-lb. bags. That's 45 cents for the equivalent
amount of a box of Sure€Jell or Ball pectin. Works great, too.

I think I just saw them (who sell it) saying that two YO pectin is pushing your
luck, and that they get it from orange peels. --shrug-- . I guess for them that's
a better source than little green apples.

About free shipping. I wouldn't be surprised either way if ten pounds if the stuff
did or didn't fit into one of those USPS prepaid mailers.

Let's see, 10 lbs equals 160 ounces, divided by 1.75 ounces, equals
91.43 1.75 oz boxes of pectin. How many jammers post here? And how much
pectin does each of us use in a year? Multiply that figure times the
number of small USPS priority mail boxes and their cost.

Whoa! It's to late at night for math, even simple math. I'm going to bed.

Is citrus-base pectin inferior? <shrug> A few years ago I asked the
folks at Ball which kind they use for their pectin packets and was told
it depends on the market - could be either.

Where are you buying it from, Barb? Somewhere local or online? If I could
find it in that size bag, I'd be happy.

U-Bake. I believe they're based in Wisconsin. I have a store about 4-5
miles from me. Look 'em up. I don't think they ship, though, but it's
worth a look-see.

Darn, they're only located in the midwest.
