    Noticed tonight that Target has 1lb boxes of strawberries on special sale around $1.15 or so. Grabbed a bunch, guess I need to figure out how to make strawberry jam/preserves now.

    jerrymrc - 3:1 ratio which way - I'm guessing more peaches than strawberries? We had some peaches come in through our co-op but only maybe 8-10. That's probably not enough, huh?

    Anyplace in SE Metro I can find these retail? Looks like they have retail stores in longmont or co springs, but that's too far for lids. I can just order them I guess, but not by tomorrow...

    that is correct. I like my strawberry jam but the combo makes a nice change.

    Holy cow there's a lot of sugar in strawberry jam. Dang it tastes good but no wonder. Guess I need to find something that has less than 7 cups of sugar per 8 jars of jam.

    You can make low sugar jam. You just need to make sure you buy the low sugar pectin. Because you are not using much sugar you need to make sure the fruit you use is very ripe and sweet.

    The Costco at the McCaslin exit off of 36 has the jars, they are right outside the cold produce room toward the back of the store.

    The Costco in Westminster still has 2 pallets of jars. They are on the right side of the store a couple aisles from the phone kiosk.

    FYI - these are back at the Costco on Quincy. Same price as last year. They were up front last week but they have been moved back by the kitchen goods/pots and pans this week.

    Go get some.
