Hi Goat Mom:
LOL Yep - we are still canning in Canada - at least a few thousand still are. I was on a canning marathon for about 3-4 weeks - everything I could lay my hands on went into a jar - fruit, jams, jellies, even picked a ton (not quite!!) of rose hips for jelly (never again!) and of course wild cranberries - no berry is safe from me - well, even the goats have to forgo the nice bush pasture across from their home pasture because it is full of cranberry bushes.
Perhaps it is petty of me to be so angry with Bernadin but they really put the screws to us over these lids. SO - if I can get jars from the states, I will. I don't see any percentage in letting Bernadin force me to replace all these GEM jars just to boost their sales of their wide mouth jars. I guess it is just a matter of principle. (the goats are safe - I don't can them)
Thanks
