The royalty won't buy a stick of gum, much less the Disney Cinderella Palace or whatever in heck I've been "advised" about. I've just mailed the Gedney folks asking for info about how many jars have been ordered by my r.f.c. acquaintances. Must say I'm stunned by the interest -- even though they ARE wonderful products! And when I think about it, $5 or less for a jar (if you buy 12, I think) is a reasonable price for a pint jar. I sell my homemades for nearly or twice that, in a smaller jar, besides. :-/

Hey, thinking about the costs of ready made - I was at a US grocery store over our Thanksgiving weekend. 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
Thanks for your patronage. I can't get rich without your help.
I just placed an order. Buy the grandkid a toy.

I want to place an order, but I can't make up my mind... why oh why don't they do jams in mixed 6's? I'd take their choice, not a custom order.
I'm just assuming that the run on the stuff is because of my mention (and subsequent others'😉 here. AFAIK, they haven't announced its online availability anywhere -- I think the new website is still under construction. I stumbled on it -- they didn't even tell us. . . . <rolls eyes>
I got a note that they are backordered 4 to 6 weeks. Something caught them by surprise.
