Charity, any chance you're in Mississippi or Alabama? I'd take you up on the jars in a heartbeat! My sweet aunt looks for them for me...but I still need more.

I'd love to have a canning get-together. I think most of us span the continent though.
I've been trying and trying to find jars at garage sales or second hand stores with no luck.
Anyone know of a good place to get them new? I think I've bought 1 dozen at Walmart and another dozen at a hardware store. Neither seemed that cheap (I guess I'm thinking of the prices in bulk too).
This will probably be a big year for me. Last year we just finished off the dozen jars in a month (applesauce..yum).

Tamara, the only other place I can think of is freecycle. However I haven't seen any there in our area. Oh, try word of mouth. You'd be surprised at the people who gave me jelly jars when they knew I canned. It seems older folks have those sorts of things but many are unable to use them. They would rather pass them on to someone who will use them. Good luck!
I'm in the process of looking for some pint and quart jars. I have tons of jelly jars.

You could also check grocery stores - some have them, but WalMart is probably less expensive (though probably not by a whole lot). Prices in general have gone up. I remember when they were waaaaaay cheaper!

Lids used to be waaaaay cheaper too!
Another place to look for jars might be a second hand Thrift Store. Especially if they're in rural areas.
If anyone lives near Minneapolis I have a cardboard barrel full of quart jars for the taking. I acquired them when someone was cleaning out their parents' home and I have plenty of my own so I don't need them.

Bummer! I don't live near either of you.
Garage sales and estate sales sometimes have them, or so I've been told. I'm not out in the sticks anymore (everything is growing up around me) so I haven't noticed any around here, but the more rural areas oughta have some. Just make sure there's not chips or cracks in the jars.

Perhaps it's time to bump this up. Plus I'm looking for a "favorite" corn relish recipe to can. Any out there?
Also looking for ideas with the loads of basil my garden is producing. (I started a thread for this).

I totally agree! Pears can be very time consuming. Sounds like you're doing a great job to me.
I did 18 PINTS of peaches yesterday but cheated and processed them in my double stacked (pressure without the gauge on) canner. They all got processed in one load.
Charity, hope you're in your new home real soon!!

Joyful, what sugar/water ratio do you use for pears and peaches?
I used the one in my Southern Living cookbook (actually less sugar than they suggested) and they turned out too sweet for me. But then I think pears are sweet enough on their own.

For pears I generally use light syrup 2 cups water and 1 cup sugar makes about 2 1/4 c syrup.
For the peaches I chickened out and went about 1 1/4 cups sugar in the 2 cups water. Like I said, I haven't canned peaches in years and the last home canned peaches we had were from my sil who used a very light syrup and they needed just a bit more. Unfortunately I don't know what her ratio was.
According to my notes a medium syrup is 1 1/2 cups water and 1 cup sugar making about 1 3/4 c syrup
And I personally don't see any use for heavy syrup but it is listed as 1:1
My notes say to allow 3/4 to 1 cup syrup per quart. And, of course, leftover syrup can be stored in the fridge for another batch.
