Or garlic....reminds me of last xmas I finally made fudge right for once. I had it in the frig with fresh minced jared garlic. The fudge tasted like it had a hint of garlic to it. The fudge was in sandwich baggies sealed too. The garlic was in a sealed glass jar. It was gross.

Dollar General has them for $1.00

Some of the dollar stores are on line. Ask yours if they have a catalog for online ordering or google the name of the $ store you are looking for.

I made a big mistake when canning my strawberry jam... I used 8 cups of berries instead of 5. Used the 7 cups of sugar. Needless to say, it did not set. Is there anyway out of this "jam"??
